Notes on the 1861 Census
  • The above census data was found in an August 1978 microfilm search by Dave Jordan.
  • An attempt has been made to reproduce all data exactly as it is on the original record; some wording changes have been made for clarity and further information on the meaning of column headings is on the census sheet.
  • If wish to explore any of this data further, please contact Dave directly.
  • This record was found in the late 1970s through a house-by-house search of the St. Laurence Ward. The microfilm reels searched were obtained via interlibrary loan from the Public Archives of Canada, Ottawa, Canada and are numbered: C-1241 to C-1244. The above record appears to be from reel C-1241.
  • The above record was found while trying to locate Thomas Black at 22 Bleury Street. Thomas was not found, but it was thought that it is possible that Robert Black could have been a brother. The street addresses though suggest a French neighborhood instead of an English speaking one.
  • The Montreal Census does not list streets addresses for families. However, it was thought useful to show a street address and thus an entry was made in the record above for the street address that they were presumed living. The street addresses shown were extracted from the Montreal City Directory. See next note.
  • The Montreal City Directory for 1859 lists a Robert Black, storeman, at 394 Lagauchetiere and for 1861 a Robert Black, storeman and grocery, at 3 Rousseau. Probably these are the same person. Of interest is that our Thomas Black, who is usually shown as a blacksmith, was listed as a grocer in the 1875 and 1876 Montreal Directories.
