LOL At Ancestry in the 1861 the family is enumerated as Boyce: 36 Ths. Boyce Male 40 1821 Scotland Married 37 Elizabeth Boyce Female 43 1818 Ireland Married 38 Jane Boyce Female 17 1844 Low Canada Single 39 Robert Boyce Male 15 1846 Low Canada Single 40 John Boyce Male 13 1848 Low Canada Single 41 Esther Boyce Female 9 1852 Low Canada Single 42 Jennet Boyce Female 6 1855 Low Canada Single 43 Sarah Boyce Female 4 1857 Low Canada Single 1871 Census in Templeton, Ottawa West, ON (must have changed from Ontario to Quebec as some point). There is a John, age 23, s/o Thomas 52, born Scotland, and Elizabeth, 54, born in Ireland, Boyes, with siblings: Robert, 25, Easter [sic] age 18, Janet 16, and Sarah 14. The only John Boyes who fits. I can send these images if you want. I can't find his birth/baptism without the Drouin, or parents' marriage, but perhaps someone else can.

Bishop Thomas Duhamel of Ottawa, have received the mutual consent of marriage between John BOYCE widower in his first wedding of Isabella Haddams ( believe it should say ADAMS) from Trois Riviere on the one hand and Matilda Belair minor daughter of Olesime Belair and Suzanne Laronde consent.
