Earlier Census Records[edit | edit source]
- Newfoundland, Canada Census Records CensusFinder
In addition to the Canada censuses taken every ten years starting in 1851, very early census records exist for British and French settlers in Newfoundland.
French[edit | edit source]
In general, the French records are for Plaisance (Placentia) which French held from 1650 -1711. The town was given up to the British in 1711 . They are transcripts of copies at the National Archives of Canada. The original records are in France. The French had some limited fishing rights on the island but were not allowed to settle on the island of Newfoundland which was Britain's oldest colony.
- 1671, 1673, 1691, 1693 Names all household members.
- 1698, 1704,1706, 1711 Names head of household only.
(All of the above census records are available at the National Archives of Canada. Transcripts of most of these are in “Mémoires de la Société Généalogique Canadienne-Française,” vols. 10-11.)
