NoteAges for the children of John Lee and Mary Ann Mulholland are mostly approximated from their ages as shown in the 1861 census in Beverly Township.

John Lee and his family appear in Beverly Township in the 1871 census, but in Aldborough Township as of the 1881 and 1891 censuses. In the 1891 census, he and Mary Ann appear in the household listed immediately prior to that of his son Sydney, so we may take it that he is the correct John Lee. That, and his date of death is shown as recorded on his gravestone in Troy Cemetery per the transcription as done by the Hamilton branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society.
