Who are these children?

I believe there is  key hidden in this photo, but I cannot find it.  Three daughters and a son, two oldest girls may be twins and they all have somewhat distinct ears.   The photo appears to be from the 19th century and is taken by A. S. Hamill of Millbrook, Ontario.   A.S. Hamill was a photographer in 1881 when he married, but in 1891 he is living in Toronto.  One last clue.  If you go back and look at the photos under George Simpson, you can see that one of these sons has  similar ears to the girls here.  Perhaps he is the father.  I do think they are Simpson chiildren but as of yet can not place them.

We did encounter Millbrook before when I raised the question:  “Who is Aunt Minnie?”  These may well be her children.  I went back the census returns once gain and examined all the Minnies, but the age structure of the children does not match.   I will keep digging but can you help out?
