The Los Angeles census of 1900 records that William Pollard (the son of the William on this page) was born in 1850 and that both his parents were from England. The only family shown on the 1861 Canadian census that fits those facts is the one shown above. The names of William’s sisters on the 1861 Ontario (City of Kingston) census are not easy to decipher but the abbreviation Wm. is clear for both father and son.

The 1871 Canadian census suggests correct identification because the fourth daughter’s name is clearly shown (as are all the children) as Heathfield which is known to have been used by the second generation. Mary employed the same servant in 1891 as William did in 1900 providing further confirmation that William and Maria are correctly identified as the English forebears of the Pollard family.

The 1881 Canadian census shows a four year old Grant W. Pollard, born British Columbia, living at the same address as William and Maria.

The 1891 Canadian census shows William and his wife Maria living in the adjacent house to his daughter Mary’s family.
