1861 Census - Canada West [Norfolk, Ontario, Canada]

An 1877 plat map of Norfolk County, Ontario, Canada (below), included a J. Murphy and a James Murphy.  Below is the plat for J. Murphy.  I wasn't sure which (if either) Murphy was correct.  An agricultural census (if it exists for Norfolk County in 1861) would help.

Ellen Murphy And Her Children

The older lady (seated) is Ellen (Davey) Murphy. She is surrounded by all her children*. So far we know the young woman in the back on the left is Sarah Agnes. It is suspected that the woman in the back on the very right is Mary.  [Photograph probably taken in Detroit, Michigan].

A big thank you to Kathleen who sent the photo and provided the information.

*The children:

1.  Ellen Murphy b: Jul 1859 in Canada
2.  Timothy Murphy b: 1858 in Canada
3.  Mary Murphy b: 11 May 1863 in Simcoe, Ontario, Canada
4.  Patrick Henry Murphy b: 19 Mar 1861 in Canada
5.  Catherine Murphy b: 1865 in Canada
6.  James Murphy b: 1867 in Canada
7.  John Murphy b: 1870 in Canada
8.  Daniel Murphy b: Oct 1874 in Canada
9.  Sarah Agnes Murphy b: Nov 1876 in Canada

There are five male children listed above and six males in the photo -- son-in-laws, or am I missing a son?

If anyone can verify who is whom (or wants to make an educated guess!), please post a comment.

The oldest child, Ellen Murphy, is my grandkids' 3rd great-grandmother.

Update:  The person who sent the photo to me said that I was missing a son, Thomas (1870-1909); and also that the picture was showing a broken link -- hopefully it's fixed (October 14th).
