I am looking for any information regarding any "Hobbs" who may have settled in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in 1871.My great, great Grandfather, Alfred, stated on the 1901 Census that he arrived in Canada in 1871 from England but did not state where in England.He was born on September 6, 1838 in England.He was a Hatter, by a Royal Appointment, operating a business on Queen Street in Toronto.The 1901 Canadian Census has Alfred Hobbs and his wife, Emma Hobbs who was born July 3, 1840 in England, living with their son, Harry (my great, great Grandfather) and his wife, Elizabeth LaMountaine, and their chidren, Norman Bertram (my Grandfather) and Maude, in Toronto.A son, Frank, was born in Sydney, Shelby, Ohio, in 1902.My great Grandfather, Harry, was with the railroad, and my father, John Harry Russell Hobbs, indicated that his gandparents spent some time in Ohio (Grand Trunk Railroad).If any of these names or dates are familiar, please let me know.
