Provincial censuses were taken for '''Canada East (southern Québec) in 1851 and 1861'''. (The 1851 census was actually taken in 1852.) The censuses list all the members of the household. Some sections were lost, and there is no index for the entire province. National Archives of Canada microfilm numbers for these censuses are also available in Thomas A. Hillman, ''Catalogue of Census Returns on Microfilm = Catalogue de Recensements sur microfilm, 1666–1891'' (see "National Censuses" on the previous page).
