Research Notes

Cardwell was the electoral district that included the village of Alton, from 1867 to 1904. It was not a place or town or village.
The census was used for two purposes, counting the population and creating a voters list, this is why the name of the electoral district is on the 1871, 1881, 1891 and 1901 censuses.
