LAC doesn't have records indexed by passenger, just by ship, but with Jim's info, we can search at:
http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/passenger/001045-100.01-e.php
and get the following hit:

The record shows TWH is a blacksmith, and they're off to Oakville ON. They also seem to have a servant, Lilly? Broughton, a=17?

I couldn't find them in 1911 at:
http://automatedgenealogy.com/census/index.html
However, with Jim's info, we can search geographically at:
http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/census-1911/001003-100.01-e.php
and find the record we need:
http://data2.collectionscanada.gc.ca/1911/pdf/e002039613.pdf


Once we've seen the original record, we can see how AG transcribed them:

George is now a gas maker, working for the gas company like his dad (when they can get the work). William is a tanner, and Nellie is an operator at the candy factory.

Nice work, mgnv!
You have a couple of tricks there that I didn't know about.
Never too old to learn!

ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW!!

I TRIED THE MAPLELEAF WEB SITE BUT COULD ONLY SEE WARGRAVE PHOTO'S
IF THERE WAS AN ACTUAL PHOTO OF WILLIAM ASHBY I THINK I WOULD PASS OUT AS THAT WAS THE PERSON I WAS TRYING TO FIND A PHOTO OF.
