*Year of Birth: Although the age was rounded down, the year of birth was inadvertantly rounded up. There will be a large discrepancy to be mindful of when looking for accurate dates.

Only individuals in the home on the census night were listed on the forms with the exception of individuals working through the evening and returning home in the morning. If a family member was visiting they would be listed in that person's home. Note: Individuals who were staying in other locations were listed by the owner of the establishment and this included those who were living in tents.
