Do you have Francois and Elisabeth on the 1881 census? I found this death but am not sure if it is yours as you didn't mention an approximate birth year: Ontario, Canada Deaths, 1869-1932 County of Prescott, Division of East Hawkesbury Name: Francois Demers Death Date: 27 Oct 1887 Death Location: Prescott Occupation: Farmer Gender: Male Age: 92 Estimated birth year: abt 1795 Birth Location: St Joseph Du Lac, QU Cause: Senectus??, 2 years --perhaps senility?? Informant: Francois Demers, Jr, son of the deceased, farmer at St. Eugene Religion: RC Reg. #014381 So you may have to look in Quebec records to see if you can find a birth/baptism. This looks like the family on the 1881 census, matches with age and location recorded on the death reg. Perhaps Francois, Jr was married twice as you said he married Elisabeth in 1885. 1881: Francis DUMAIS M Male French 50 Quebec Cultivateur Catholique Julienne DUMAIS M Female French 39 Quebec Catholique Francis DUMAIS Male French 19 Quebec Voyageur Catholique Amede DUMAIS Male French 16 Quebec Cultivateur Catholique Levina DUMAIS Female French 15 Quebec Catholique Delima DUMAIS Female French 15 Quebec Catholique Marcelline DUMAIS Female French 14 Quebec Catholique Julienne DUMAIS Female French 12 Quebec Catholique Georgina DUMAIS Female French 10 Quebec Catholique Marguerite DUMAIS Female French 8 Quebec Catholique Michel DUMAIS Female French 5 Quebec Catholique Celima DUMAIS Female French 3 Quebec Catholique Clara DUMAIS Female French <1 Born: Dec; 4/12 Quebec Catholique Francois DUMAIS M Male French 85 Quebec Cultivateur Catholique Genevieve DUMAIS M Female French 72 Quebec Catholique Source Information: Census Place Hawkesbury East, Prescott, Ontario Family History Library Film 1375864 NA Film Number C-13228 District 103 Sub-district A Division 1 Page Number 55 Household Number 231 They must have just moved from Quebec as all the children were born there.
