	You can view a transcription of the 1852 Census of Canada East & West here http://automatedgenealogy.com/census52/SurnameSearch.jsp?surname=blakey&ew=w&did=12 I think he might have been buried in Blue Church Cemetery, Augusta. At least a lot of Blakey people were! http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gsr&GSiman=1&GScid=2317072&GSfn=&GSln=blakey

	Not sure if this is relevant - no dates or image Canadian Genealogy Index, 1600s-1900s Name: John Blakey Event: Living Province: Ontario Place: Prescott Township Source: 1848 Census for Johnstown District: Augusta, Edwardsburgh, South Gower, Oxford-on-the-Rideau, Wolford, Prescott, North Crosby, South Crosby, Elizabethtown; Microfilm #M5909, Provincial Archives of Ontario, Toronto. Volume/Page: 17 Note: The province and county are associated with the location of the record source and in some cases may not be the same as the place where the event occured. ........ You might have to contact the Genealogical Research Library, Ontario, Canada to ask for details. How much research have you done yourself, and have you had a good dig around on https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/list#page=1®ion=CANADA ?
