Canada Census records were first taken in the seventeenth century. Candian Censuses up to the year 1851 were scattered and selective in regard to the years taken and the areas enumerated. These early censuses generally listed only the head of the household, an age and occupation, the number of family members, and the person’s birthplace and religion and a few other facts.
