Nehemiah Churchill Lent VERY STRONG possibility he was Nehemia Churchill Lent, and married Mary Alice, and appears in 1891, aged 31, a saw mill hand living in Weymouth, Digby Co, Mary Alice is aged 28, children Nellie D., aged 9, Mary V., aged 7, William Alton, aged 5, and Lita R., aged 1 (perhaps the 'R.' being same as her grandmother's middle name???) The fact that his eldest son is WILLIAM Alton is also likely significant.
Here is the confirmation of both the Nehemiah and Churchill names being one man:

and, in 1881, since Nehemia NOT listed with family that year, neither was Churchill (coincidence?):
Nehemia does NOT appear in 1881 census with his father/mother, but does appear in what COULD be in-laws' family, of Mary Gray, widow of James (likely parents of his wife, 'Mary Alice').
