1871 Federal Census of Ontario


A federal census for the Province of Ontario was taken on 2nd April 1871. The census is divided into nine schedules, of which the first two are of immediate interest to genealogists. The first schedule is the Nominal Roll of the Living. The second schedule is the Nominal Return of Deaths within the last twelve months.

The first schedule includes returns for forty-one Flannery / Flannelly family groups of varying size and surname spelling. There is one Flannery in the second schedule. A total of one hundred and twenty-eight individuals are named.

All one hundred and twenty-eight individuals have been indexed alphabetically by first name (regardless of surname variant) and age for ease of reference. Where individuals share both name and age, a distinguishing feature (parents, spouse, location etc.) follows in brackets. The salient features of the census returns have been transcribed, but additional personal information (religion, literacy, infirmities etc.), has been neglected. All of the records have been presented in order of census sequence, which orders the records geographically and helps to highlight family groups living in close proximity.

The census has been microfilmed and indexed. The index was published as a set of thirty-three bound volumes, and an open access searchable version is available on the internet [http://data4.archives.ca/]. The following transcripts used the searchable index as a basis, but the records were subsequently checked against the microfilmed census pages. It should be noted that a number of transcription errors were noted in the searchable index, corrected in these transcripts, and advised to the custodians of the searchable index for future correction.
