• Source: S500021 1851 Canada Census Publication: MyHeritage As Canada did not officially become a country until 1867, the 1851 census was not a national census. As such, unique forms were used for each province. In Canada West and Canada East, two different census schedules were used—one for urban areas, and one for rural areas. These schedules recorded information such as name, gender, age, marital status, birthplace, occupation, and religion. Additional questions recorded information relating to disabilities of individuals, vital statistics, housing and buildings, livestock, and manufacturing. In Canada East questions were asked in either French orEnglish.New Brunswick used a fairly short census schedule and only recorded the following information: residence, name, gender, relationship, age, race, occupation, date of entering the colony, whether sick or infirm, and other remarks. In Nova Scotia, only the names of heads of families were recorded. Other individuals in the household were accounted for in age and gender categories. Additional questions recorded statistical information relating to property, vital statistics, employment and occupation, religious denominations, agriculture, and manufacturing. Please note that not all census records have survived, and that some sub-districts may be entirely missing from this collection. In Canada East and Canada West, the census forms span multiple pages, and therefore multiple images. When researching in these provinces, be sure to click forward in the image viewer in order to see all images relating to a record.

Dobie-In loving remembrance of John A Dobie, who died February 9, 1916. Gone, dear father and husband -gone forever;. How oft we miss your loving face. But you left us to remember. None on earth can take your place. The happy home we once enjoyed. How sweet thy memory still;. But death has left a lonesomeness. The world can never fill. We loved him, yes we loved him,. But Jesus loved him more. And He has sweetly called him. To yonder shinning shore. The golden gates were opened,. A gentle voice said "Come". And with farewells unspoken. He calmly entered Home. God knows hos much we miss him,. And whispers "Hush, he only sleeps;. Your loved one is not dead.". But in our aching hearts we know. We have no father or husband now. His loving Wife and Family. <transcription><metadataxml> CREA 2023-04-25 05:00:08.198 USER H77ZVIpaESw2CaSd2oqe1158wWTcJZ10Aczxi1Nv4zJksq02Q8QDtmlr86SKIM8RQnF1JGqFZtEZ+r1NkCO58A== ENCR 1.
