  10. ↑ 1851 Census. Only the agricultural census for the Township of Reach survived. Ambrose Atkinson is listed.
  11.   The writer is positive of the facts once Ambrose, Judith and their family reached Ontario, but it is difficult to tie details in English records with specific families, particularly those with fairly common surnames. West Yorkshire records will be found at the Borthwick Institute in York, but research was carried out, these had not been published in full to online databases.
    The earliest census in England was 1841 and baptisms/christenings information is not available for every parish.
