1861 Canadian Census (January 14, 1861)

• Title	1861 Canadian Census (January 14, 1861)
  Short Title	1861 Canadian Census (January 14, 1861)
  Author	Canada Board of Registration and Statistics. Census page. From FamilySearch Internet (www.familysearch.org)
  Publisher	The Census contains the 1861 census for the province of Ontario. At this time Ontario was not yet part of the Dominion of Canada, but was called Canada West. The census taker took the information on the census day starting January 14, 1861. Census takers were asked to record information about all those who were in each household on the census day. A census taker might have visited a house on a later date, but the information he collected was supposed to be about the people who were in the house on the census day. Enumeration was by census district. Census districts were voting districts, not counties, although most have the same names as counties. For the most part, census districts were synonymous with cities and counties, and sub districts were synonymous with towns, townships, and city wards. Villages, small towns, and parishes were generally enumerated as part of the township in which they were located. Census district and county boundaries were not always the same and there were many variations from location to location.
