1891 census results

So it would appear that I can attach a picture and movie but I can't see how to attach an XL spreadsheet. If I copy and paste the information it just makes a mess, so I guess for now I'll include the most pertinent information that could possibly extend family lines.

Elizabeth McLean's father and mother were born in the USA. That does start to make me think he could have been a loyalist or a son of a loyalist ~ the birth place and time period were right (Elizabeth was born in 1810, so her father would have been born between 1770-1790). As for her mother it's possible that Elizabeth's parents were married in the USA and then came to Pittsburgh. Perhaps she also has loyalist roots?

Michael Graves' (Henry's brother) father was born in the USA. Their mother was born in Canada. I've recently been in contact with the host of the GRAVES family website and I have some more information on Henry and Michael's father.
