Censuses in what is now Canada were first taken in the seventeenth century. These and subsequent censuses conducted up to the year 1851 were scattered and selective in regard to the years taken and the areas enumerated. These very early censuses generally listed only the head of the household, his/her age and occupation, the number of family members, and the person’s birthplace and religion and a few other facts.

In Ontario Province wide censuses were taken in 1842, 1848, 1850, 1851, 1861, 1871, 1881, 1891, 1901 and 1911. Others have been taken after 1911 but are not avaliable to us yet.
