Hi, have sucessfully traced my tree in England. However 1881 Canadian cencus for Euphrasia, Grey East, Ontario shows that a Matthew Symonds, wife Ann and 5 children were living there. All were born in England except the last child, Lydia who at age 5 in 1881 was born in Ontario. I have a Matthew Symonds same age etc who was missing for awhile in England but reappears in 1890 aged 50 to marry my Gt Grandmother. Is it the same man, did he leave or lose a family in Canada or is it just a coincidence in names and birth dates? Any information on this family would be appreciated, especially where he was born in England as this may rule him out.
