It looks like John Millin b. abt. 1829 and Mary Ann Millin b. abt 1841 came to Toronto between 1872 and 1878 because their daughter Louiza Millan was born in England in 1872 and their daughter Elizabeth Millan was born in Toronto in 1878.
The new information for Mary Ann Bowen came from the death certificate for their daughter, Elizabeth Brown nee Millen 1878-1911. I just received the death certificate for Elizabeth Brown nee Millen. She died on April 9, 1911. At the time of her early death, she was 33. She was married to John Brown for 15 years and lived at 832 S. May Street, Chicago, Illinois. Her parents are listed as John Millen of Ireland and Bowen of England. From the 1881 Canadian Census, her mother's name was Mary Ann.
