Scope and content

Sub-sub-series consists of census returns for the 1901 Canadian census. The records of the 1901 census are nominal, listing each person individually, with details as to age, sex, country or province of birth, religion, racial origin, occupation, marital status and education. The returns also include date of birth, year of immigration and address or location of land. For the year 1901, only a microfilm copy of the first schedule - nominal return of the living - is available. The paper records and other schedules have not survived. The only exception to this is Volumes 1250 to 1251, which include parts of Quebec, Prince Edward Island and the Territories. These records are not available to researchers, however, because of their delicate condition. The microfilm copies of the census returns cover the provinces of British Columbia (T-6328 to T-6431, T-6436 to T-6437, T-6554), Manitoba (T-6432 to T-6439, T-6554), Ontario (T-6457 to T-6509, T-6554), Quebec (T-6511 to T-6550, T-6554), New Brunswick (T-6439 to T-6446), Nova Scotia (T-6446 to T-6457), Prince Edward Island (T-6509 to T-6511), the NorthWest Territories (T-6550 to T-6555), and the Unorganized Territories (T-6555 to T-6556).
