A Few Notes...
1851 census images now online!!
I've recieved a few emails with links to the new online 1851 census images... so here it is for those who haven't heard yet!
1851 census images
Census of 1851 (Canada East, Canada West,
New Brunswick and Nova Scotia)
At this point there is no name or street index. However, the images I looked at were excellent, much better than the microfilm.
Toronto researchers should be aware that the returns for Scarborough and the City of Toronto (1851 boundaries) have been lost, but if they are looking for a family that lived north of Bloor Street, or east of the Don River, or west of about Dufferin Street, they should be able to find them in York Township.
All researchers should be aware that the census was taken in January of 1852, although it is often referred to as the 1851 census.
