 Charles was a brick-maker and with his wife and young children came to Canada in 1871. Settling in Toronto.

 I have yet to find an official death record for Charles but found a newspaper reference to a brickmaker named Charles Tye in Toronto who was killed by a train on Oct 10th 1885 . Julia remarried in '87 and was listed as a widow so I am pretty sure it is the same Charles.
