Census Districts and Sub-districts

The list of links below will help researchers find the census districts and sub-districts enumerated in the 1851 census. Knowledge of the district and sub-district(s) is helpful for finding individual households within a community since this is not a nominally indexed database (it is not searchable by family name).

The census districts are organized by province/colony:

• New Brunswick
• Nova Scotia
• Canada East (Quebec)
• Canada West (Ontario)
