Joseph Albert Lobley, born in Liverpool in 1840, attended Trinity College, Cambridge, from 1859 to to 1866, where he obtained his B.A. in 1863 and was ordained deacon, then priest in 1864. While at Cambridge, he was curate of Bourn. He became a Fellow in 1865 and obtained his M.A. in 1866.
In 1871 he is in Hamer, Rochdale, where he was Vicar: Class: RG10; Piece: 4126; Folio: 136; Page: 56
In 1881, he was in Canada, in Montreal, where he had been invited to open a theological training school. There is an entry about him in the Dictionary of Canadian Biography Online.
Does anyone have access to ancestry.ca and the 1881 Census for Joseph A. Lobley in Sherbrooke, Quebec, which ancestry.uk is waving tantalisingly under my nose, please?

I don't have access but just confirming that you have seen his entry in Crockford's 1885 at The Lodge, Lennoxville, Canada?

Thank you, blue eyes.
Is the Canadian Census really as pared down as that? I imagined that there would have been more detail, a bit like their more Southern cousins! Was there an address for the family, please?
No, I haven't, Ken, and I am totally in ignorance of Crockford's. Would it be a directory of Anglican ministers, possibly?

Hi,
No address on the census image. You can see a transcription of the 1881 census transcription at the Libray and Archives of Canada showing Joseph only. You woud neeed to put in the other names individually.Julie

I Googled it the first time to find where they were hiding it. There's an entry for him in 1874 as well. The second time, I looked for it it in Schools, Directories & Church Histories and couldn't find it under 'C': they've only gone and hidden it away under 'U' at UK, Crockford's Clerical Registers!
Thank you for this tip.

If you read the entire entry in the Dictionary of Canadian Biography, you will see that he was no longer in Montreal in 1881. He had been appointed Principal of Bishop's University in Lennoxville in 1878. He held that post until sometime in 1885, when he returned to England. At the time of the 1881 Canadian Census, he was most probably living in the Principal's residence at Bishop's, "the Lodge",
as mentioned in Crockford's.

Found some more information for you, a book which contains a very detailed account Joseph Lobley's years at Bishop's. You can read it online (pages 91 - 102).
Bishop's University, 1843-1970 - Christopher Nicholl - Google Books.
