Each County is divided into civil parishes, which are not the same as church parishes. They turn up primarily as census districts. For a full list of parishes in each county, their dates of formation, and parish they may have formerly been a part of, as well as what census returns (1851-1891) survive, see: Genealogist’s Handbook for Atlantic Canada Research, pages 8-14.
