Susan, Have you tried the 1881 Canada Census on _www.familysearch.com_ (http://www.familysearch.com) ? I found two Thomas McNally's born in Ontario and born about 1864: 1) Thomas McNally, b. abt. 1864 in Ontario age 17 Goulbourn, Carleton, Ontario FHL film #1375867 p. 8. 2) Thomas McNally, b. abt. 1864 age 17 school teacher--head of household: Henry McNally Brant, Bruce South, Ontario. FHL film # 1375911 p. 9. To view the films you would need to order them from a local LDS Family History Center. If you need more information on how to do this let me know. It is inexpensive--usually only about $3.25-3.50 for a month. Mary Sue Schnell
