John, Margaret and Patrick were Denis's step children

In the 1861 Census for Ashburnham, Peterborough County, Upper Canada there is a John, Margaret and Patrick #2 Hobbins listed as Denis and Ellen's children.

We know that Catherine Quinlisk died about 1851. Patrick #2 is born in 1853. So they may have gotten married between then and before Catherine was born in 1854.

There is birth information for a John, and Margaret born to Michael Heenan and Ellen Loughnan. I'll have to check for Patrick too.

I previously thought Patrick was Denis's biological child and always wondered where he got to because there was no mention after 1881. I find him later marrying as Patrick Heenan parents Michael Heenan and Ellen Lucknane. Another mystery solved.
