    • The census return is badly faded and it is impossible to make out Robert's first name. It has been transcribed as Albert A, but everything else in the record fits.

      Only one of their sons was with them.

    Note
    • I found a Robert and Elizabeth Wright in Deloraine, Manitoba, in the 1891 census P70, L15. They are listed as lodgers in a hotel owned by Richard Oke. No occupation is listed for Robert. There are a couple of inconsistencies in the record, but for now I'm going with it, because I've never found them anywhere else, and it makes sense for them to be in Manitoba at this time. William Henry and Mary Jane were in Brandon in 1891, and William McKee was in Deloraine. Annie Matthews came out a little later, I don't know what became of the younger sister. The inconsistencies are:

      1. The ages of Robert and Elizabeth are given as 30, Elizabeth should be 38 according to the age I have for her which is taken from the 1861 census.

      2. The two children listed are rather young for a woman of 38, but not inconceivable (Ruby is 2)

      3. Elizabeth's parents are said to be born in Ireland which is not correct.

      Another clue in favour of this being the right Wrights is the name of the son, Frederick. It's possible too that they left some older children behind until they got settled, as William McKee did. Ruby is said to be born in Ontario, so I'll look for her in the birth indexes, and confirm yea or nay if this is the correct family.
      There are several Wright families in Deloraine in this census, they may be related.

      I found the marriage registration in the Ontario Archives. He is described as a bachelor, Watchmaker. Witnesses were Eli Randall and Jane Thompson of West Williams.
