On May 18, 1849, in York County, Ontario, Frederick married Mary Anne Eleanor (born 1829).

A census report of 1851 for West York, County York, shows Frederick, a sawyer, and wife Mary Anne, and also Joseph and Sarah. Since the lines appear together, with Frederick, then Mary Anne, then Joseph and Sarah, the property may well have been Frederick's, and the aged parents were living with them, or the younger couple were living with the parents. Reported ages align.

The census report is entitled "Personal Census - Enumeration District No. (handwritten "two", could mean page two) ...376, The modern record of what that location was is at this Government of Canada web page. It shows districts 375, 376, 377 to be Minto, Arthur, Luther. I would think, therefore, that they were living in the Arthur area.

Frederick Longhurst died October 17, 1899. Notes from record of death: address at the time of death was 12 Suffolk Place, Toronto, Ontario; cause of death was Bright's disease; occupation was farmer; religion was Methodist.
