Looking for a James HALL, s/o Elizabeth HILL & possibly Orin HALL, born around 1835/1836. He is in the 1851 census twice. Once as an apprentice to Jonathan AUSTIN, carriage maker in the town of Simcoe where he is age 16, born Canada He is also with his family in Townsend twp (Waterford) - his step-father Charles MERRILL age 58, mother Elizabeth MERRILL age 42, brother Thomas (age 21 - he later married Annie Rebecca SCHRAM) and half brother Charles MERRILL jr. age 6. There are also 2 teenage COLLVER girls in the household but I am not sure if there is any relation. In this census entry, James is 17, born in USA, resident of Simcoe. Does anyone have such a James HILL in their family? Elizabeth HILL is my ggg-grandmother's sister She married Charles MERRILL in Aug 1845, Gore District. The family were Baptists. Thomas HALL was born in Beamsville & died in California in 1906. Thanks Mary
