William is listed in the household of widow Sarah Reeve in the 1861 York, Toronto, Canada West Census. He is listed as a student, with birthplace Ontario. Sarah was born c1812 according to the census. We find her listed on later census records in Toronto as well. She matches Sarah Bielby Reeve, wife of William Reeve, who is buried with her husband in the Cummer Burial Grounds, Toronto, Ontario. Thus we conclude these were the parents of William Albert Reeve.
