Read from the image in the Emily research pass (The Flynns of Emily Township: research report (October 2026), October 2026). On this page the age and sex columns are written one line higher than the names; the sex marks fit only when matched one line down. With the columns realigned (ages at next birthday):

Name Occupation Born Religion Age
John Flynn Farmer Ireland Roman Catholic 50
Ann Flynn Ireland Roman Catholic 38
William Flynn Labourer U. Canada 18
John Flynn Labourer U. Canada 16
Mary Flynn U. States 12
Elizabeth Flynn U. Canada 6
James Flynn U. Canada 4
Margaret Flynn U. Canada 2

The census gives no relationships. Michael Stephenson's abstract of the 1851 agricultural returns places "Flynn John" on concession 10, lot 11, a Robinson settler, with 50 acres cleared (source).
