The Icelandic form of that name is Magnús Jónsson.
There were eight men born in 1849 with that name.
One of which emigrated west in 1874, it’s unclear from where.
He died Des. 19. 1910.
That’s all I got.

I looked up the name in Íslendingabók. I found several people named Magnus Johnson, and none of them were born in 1849.
Its not much but my guess is that the person surrounded by red here is the Magnús Jónsson that you are looking for (appears to be the only Magnús Jónsson born 1849 who emigrated west: [https://imgur.com/a/zz1SFzH](https://imgur.com/a/zz1SFzH)
I couldn’t find his parents’ full names (besides his dad´s name being Jón per his last name) since I don´t appear to be related to him and Íslendingabók doesn’t show you the connection graph with the parent names unless you are related.
Fellow Icelandic reddit lurkers with access to Íslendingabók, could you try looking up Magnús Jónsson 1849 on Íslendingabók, and try to see the connection graph to get Magnús’ parents’ names?
Where did he end up living in Canada?
