  • Notes 
    • The 1861 Census for Hallowell Twp lists William Davis Goodmurphy as residing at Lot 11H on the 3rd Concession, and his occupation was as a Labourer.
      The family were listed as Episcopal Methodists.

      On March 8, 1867, William Davis bought the West Half (50 acres) of Lot 11 from his father.

      The 1871 Census shows that William Davis Goodmurphy and family are still at Lot 11.

      Wm Davis sold his property at Lot 11 WH of NH- Conc. 3 - Hallowell Twp to Wm Orser on January 21, 1875.

      It is believed that he and his family moved to Sophiasburg Twp as he was receiving mail at the Demorestville Post Office in 1878. He owned Lot 55 East Half on Conc. 1 on or about that time. The property consisted of 100 acres.

      It is believed that he moved to British Columbia, after their daughter Alica May died in July 1880.

      The 1901 Census for Richmond, BC lists a William Davis Goodmurphy and his wife Catherine T.

      The 1908 Vancouver Directory lists a William Davis Goodmurphy as a Canneryman.
      The 1909 Vancouver Directory repeats this information. Not sure if the same person
      as Wm Davis would be age 78 in 1908 !!!
      The 1911 Census lists Wm Davis and his wife Catherine, living with their daughter Laura Belle and her husband Wm Townsend.
      The B.C. Death Index for 1872 to 1979 lists a death of a William Davis Goodmurphy as on June 21,1916 in the Vernon District, at 86 years of age, Reg #1916-09-207374.
      That would compute to a birth year of 1830.
