Elias and Joan operated Holne Park and Staddicombe Farm in Devon, but emigrated to Ontario, Canada in 1831 with 6 of their children to join their eldest son, James, who had moved to Canada several years earlier. In 1835 Elias and Joan returned to England with their 2 youngest children, George 13 and Ann 9. They returned to Nassagaweya in Canada in the spring of 1840. Their visit to England prompted other relatives to also migrate to Canada including Elias's sister, Susannah (married to Nicholas NORRISH).

This family is being researched by Urchin.
