Enumerated by Charlie Boone

Transcribed from ancestry.ca By Bill Boone, Dec 2025
  • For the most part, the enumerator's handwriting was very good but some idiot marked all over the entries obscuring many of them. I suspect someone in StatsCan compiled the information using their own coding using the original as a worksheet.

  • Type of house: W3 means Wooden with 3 rooms. Initially, the enumerator used the mailing address for the Community.
    Debec RR# 5 & 6 refers to Maxwell from Graham's Corner to the county line on Rte 560. Canterbury RR# 1, Refers to Eel River, running from 1st Eel Lake (Old Harold Graham property) to Fosterville, although there were families living between Harold's and the beginning of the woods toward Canterbury. Varney's, Mackies, McCarthurs, etc. Perhaps they were included in Canterbury?

  • The information gathered got more extensive than earlier ones although they omitted collecting actual birth dates. But for some reason it was important to know where the parents were born and what religion they practiced.

  • Strangely, there is no income recorded for a farmer as in other occupations. Either a farmer had no income, or he chose not to reveal it

  • If you see any errors or omissions, contact me. Always check the original to verify as typos do occur

  • 304 Males + 251 Females for a total population of 555 people
