Richards Family in 1881 Canadian Census

I was excited to find the entire Richards family together in the 1881 Canadian Census on the original Familysearch.org. I have not seen the original document but familysearch includes a transcription. Ideally, someday I will get my hands on the original.

Interesting information includes the religion given as Church of England and the inclusion of John Baird in the household. Sarah's maiden name is Baird and it leads me to believe that John is her brother. The family immigrated sometime between 1873 and 1876.
