Notes:

Per Census records:

William Service age 23 born Upper Canada on the 1861 Census making birthdate 1838

William “H” Service age 37 born Ontario (Dutch ie Deutsche ie German descent) on the 1871 Census making birthdate 1834

William Service age 49 born Ontario (Scottish descent) on the 1881 Census making birthdate 1832

William Service age 72 born Ontario with birthdate of August 1828 on the 1901 Census

It is not known why there are so many discrepancies (DOB and Ethnic Origin) and it is not known why family members have him recorded as WILLIAM ALEXANDER SERVICE.

Mariah shows up on Census records as

age 9 born Quebec on the 1851 Census making birthdate 1842

age 20 born Upper Canada on the 1861 Census making birthdate 1841

age 42 born Ontario (french descent) on the 1881 Census making birthdate 1839

Their son Richard shows up as Richard “Spier” Service and Richard “W” Service not Richard Alexander Service (as recorded by other family members).

UPDATE
A few anomolies have shown up recently.

1. WILLIAM ALEXANDER SERVICE is shown as WILLIAM HENRY SERVICE on the birth certificate of William Henry Service born May 1, 1872.

2.Birth certificate of WILLIAM HENRY SERVICE confirms MARIA TEBO as mother.

UPDATE: Maria Tebo is now thought to be the daughter of Jessey and Maria Tebo (Thibault) born about 1842 in Quebec, residing in York Township when the 1851 Census was taken. This would make her sister of Elizabeth (who was the second wife of Samuel Scriber) and possibly where the confusion about her surname (some members advised incorrectly she was Mariah Scriber) arose.

2. JAMES ALEXANDER SERVICE has family recorded birthdate of May 1, 1872 (see above) and WILLIAM HENRY SERVICE has family recorded birthdate of December 11, 1865. It is not known if they changed his name to James after his birth or not.

3. RICHARD ALEXANDER SERVICE is also recorded as RICHARD W SERVOS and as RICHARD SPIER SERVICE (1881 Census)

William Service death record that I recently acquired from another family researcher. It is in four parts because it was one of those wide sheet records. There are asterisks to indicate the information that corresponds to William Service. Unfortunately at that time, parents were not recorded.
