Hi All, The complete transcription of the census for Pictou County for 1861 is now available on my website, here: http://www.dwaynemeisner.com/censusnovascotia.php Click on "Pictou" to see the menu choices of which census is available. The 1861 census covers all twenty-two polling districts of Pictou County, which were, in 1861, Pictou, Caribou, Cape John, West Side River John, West Branch River John, Rogers Hill, Hardwood Hill, Green Hill & West River, Mount Thom, Gairloch, New Larig, Albion Mines, New Glasgow, Little Harbour, McLellan's Mountain, East Branch East River, Hopewell & West Branch East River, Middle River, Gulf Shore, Barney's River, Merigomish, Blue Mountain & St. Mary's, etc. The 1861 census only lists heads of households, but I have also included the number of males and females in each household as well.
