PLEASE PRINT AND SAVE -- Muriel ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gordon A. Watts" <gordon_watts@telus.net> To: "Canada Census Campaign" <CANADA-CENSUS-CAMPAIGN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, October 07, 2005 5:47 PM Subject: 1911 Census - Column 18 Greetings All Those, like myself, who have been trying to puzzle out the number codes overwritten in Column 18 of the 1911 Census will be happy to know that the Library and Archives website has today been updated with information relating to those codes. A fuller explanation of the three parts of the codes is now included in the Help files relating to the 1911 Census, and a link is provided to a PDF file detailing the occupation codes. The following information was extracted from the updated Help section of the 1911 Census at http://www.collectionscanada.ca/archivianet/1911/006003-100.04-e.html#b ==================== For the first time in 1911, information taken for the census was compiled by mechanical appliances. Perforated cards were used to record more accurately information on occupations, using codes. However, it seems that it was not a great success and the system was changed in 1921. The use of this code is reflected in column 18. Genealogists will see numbers separated by hyphens. Example: 6-0-32, 6-6-32 or 6-9-32. The numbers are from the Index to Occupations based on the results of the Fourth census of Canada (1901). (Index to Occupations. Ottawa, Census and Statistics Office, 1911, 230 p. AMICUS : 7693172). This publication gives a list of the codes; only a few copies are available in libraries throughout Canada. The following explanations were taken from this publication. The first part of the code refers to one of the general main divisions of occupations or industries as follows: 0 Agriculture 1 Building trades 2 Domestic and personal service 3 Civil and municipal service 4 Fisheries and hunting 5 Forestry and lumbering 6 Manufactures - mechanical and textiles 7 Manufactures - Food and clothing 8 Mining 9 Professional pursuits 10 Trade and Merchandising 11 Transportation The second part of the code refers to the class of worker 0 Self-employed or owner of the business 1 Managers, assistant managers 2 Superintendents, assistant superintendents, supervisors 3 Foremen, bosses, gang bosses, paymasters, treasurers 4 Agents, brokers, commission men 5 Inspectors, weighers, graders 6 Employees, workers, operators, skilled workers 7 Clerks, companions, timekeepers 8 Apprentices, helpers, learners, assistants 9 Laborers, unskilled, messengers, teamsters Note that a special code was created for the third category, Civil and municipal government, to include military ranks. 0 -- 1 Admirals, generals, surveyors etc. 2 Captains, colonels, postmasters, teachers, deputies, assessors, sheriffs, librarians, assistants, chief clerks, supervisors 3 Lieutenants, police inspectors, paymasters, collectors, treasurers, auditors, marshals etc. 4 Sergeants, corporals, bandsmen, quartermasters etc. 5 Inspectors, scalers, gaugers, measurers, roundsmen, keepers, appraisers etc. 6 Employees, operators, privates, marines, sailors, policemen, letter carriers etc. 7 Bookkeepers, clerks, stenographers, secretaries, court stenographers etc. 8 Helpers, assistants, attendants etc. 9 Laborers, messengers, watchmen etc. The third part of the code refers to the trade. For each category, a list of trades was created using the numbers 00 to 99. On the original census returns, take note of the first and third parts of the code then consult the chart (PDF format 34 Kb) to obtain the meaning of the code. ====================== The chart referred to is available at http://www.collectionscanada.ca/obj/006003/f2/006003-1911-e.pdf Enjoy the Census!

Many thanks --I plan to go up there next week, after I get back from Sunnybrook. Many have wondered where John Elliott was buried and many thought it was in Brampton Cemetery -- however, it is his son who is buried there. Have you looked at the listings of Eventide Cemetery, behind the present Peel Manor, 525 Main St. N.? At one time the cenetery you mentioned evidently went across Main St. N., I often wondered why the tombstones looked so close together. When Main St. N. was widened, tombstones were moved but the present old cemetery looks interesting and great -- even if there are twice as many stones than in the original -- the space is only one-half the size.

To all who are transcribing or wanting the 1911 census:- YUKON Territory has been named No. 1 for 100% completion of all pages, with 18,700 lines transcribed!! I have checked all counties in provinces, the ones in the west are all below 10% for Automated Genealogy, which is a Canada-wide site and records go to Library and Archives Canada. The highest number of counties in any province is Lunenburg County in Nova Scotia with 83.45% or 28,998 lines. Next to this is Digby with 75.37% and 15,827 lines. Yarmouth County has 68.71% and 16,456 lines transcribed. Some researchers have already been printing off the work of others, but I would hesitate to do this until I see the proofreaders have finished their "second look" at our work. Transcribing is simple -- http://automatedgenealogy.com/census11/ We worked very hard for the 1911 census -- are we going to let the unfinished pages sit there? One person complained there were too many mistakes in one site, but printed it anyway. Let's get with it and then tell the proofreaders we are ready for them. Muriel M. Davidson muriel_davidson@sympatico.ca Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee P.S. -- When we finish the 1911, there is still proofreading to do on the 1901 census!!!
The subject line will definitely show this is OFF TOPIC!! Does any reader have photos of FISHING or GOLFING? The facial features are not needed -- if showing, these can be changed -- it is the stance when fishing or golfing, also the apparel worn, whether of today or yesteryear. Also, it is preferable of men taking part in above activities, but those of women are acceptable. Reason:- Check http://www.lyndencowan.com/ The above photos are needed for detail as one can see the great detail in each painting. [Check for DownHome paintings -- Carter's Beach and Three Boats]. If anyone has pictures, these may be sent by JPG or other to Lynden Cowan lynden@lyndencowan.com Thanks in advance -- my daughter will appreciate assistance!

Hi Jane Thank you for sending this obituary to the list. He was a most remarkable man with many accomplishments in his lifetime. I for one, learned from reading his book "In Search Of Your Scottish Roots". He will be remembered by many. Kind regards Elizabeth
Here is the obituary for a great genealogist, I'm sure anyone who participates in this great hobby (obsession??) will have read one of his many books. Jane in Cooksville (Mississauga) Ontario, Canada BAXTER, Angus On September 26, 2005, in his 94th year - after a long, varied and happy life. Writer, traveler, poet, businessman, and renowned expert on genealogy, Angus was born in 1912 in Bristol England and educated at Bristol Grammar School and Bristol University. He enlisted in the British Army on the first day of WW2 and served with the London Scottish from 1939 to 1946 as a Lieutenant Colonel and Staff Officer. In 1943, he married Nan Pearson, the love of his life and also his best friend. After more than 62 years, they were as much in love as ever. They immigrated to Toronto in 1953 with their daughter Susan. Angus was vice-president of Seccombe House - a publishing and marketing company. He retired in 1970 and he and Nan spent a year travelling slowly around the world. Travel played a great part in their extraordinary happy life together and during their marriage they visited more than a hundred different countries. After his retirement, Angus started an entirely new career as an author and lecturer on genealogy. He wrote six books, published in several countries and, mostly, still in print. He gave over 1,000 lectures around the world and more than 300 TV and radio interviews. It delighted him to know that he had helped so many people trace their ancestors. Angus did not take either himself or life too seriously. And with his beloved Nan by his side he could often say with truth, ''We did have fun!'' He is survived by Nan, and by his daughter Susan and granddaughter Katherine Barcsay - who he deeply loved. Private cremation. Ashes to be scattered later in the English valley of his ancestors. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

Good morning. I have an old photograph of a WW 1 military corp. The photo is of about 43 men in uniform posing for the picture. I believe they originate from Toronto area. Does anyone know of someone who might be able to identify the uniform or somehow help me narrow down where these men belong? I can send a scan.

To all:- First of all, before I receive queries, an American is one of our relatives in many cases, and may transcribe Canadian census. Transcribing is simple if you have a good magnifying glass as penmanship was not the best. It is easier if one knows the older names of an area, also use the little + on images to icrease size of lettering. [The magnifying glass is my idea -- others may copy] We have both 1901 and 1911 online, with transcribing on the 1911 http://automatedgenealogy.com/census11/ http://automatedgenealogy.com/index.html/ I prefer the Automated Genealogy as it is Canada-wide, also if one has a blank census form, one can write down family data as both pages are shown -- we transcribe from only Page 1. Finished data will be archived at Library and Archives Canada. Many have transcribed the complete images and these are on various GenWeb and other sites. Also the pages are bilingual. When one clicks on one of the above sites -- one is asked to SIGN IN, using your regular email address, plus a password you will remember. This is to prevent many from possibly making errors on the site and is a way of control. Each page must be 50 lines, regardless if 45 of them are blank -- delete HOUSE number and NAME, leave LINE NUMBER, click on SUBMIT until you reach 51 -- then click on CLAIM PAGE. It will show 50. Many pages have been transcribed but transcribers have not left names, also a page may show only about 11 transcribed, as one can go back to finish a page. Transcribers have been listed on the 1901 census pages, and I am certain the same will be done re the 1911 records. Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Yukon are in a three-way race to see which provinces/territory are completed 100% first. [Yukon does have one page repeated -- Rampart House/13.] Should there be questions, contact me or gordon_watts@telus.net We now have the 1911 census records -- let's finish the job! The proofreaders will be the next step -- they are waiting!! Muriel M. Davidson muriel_davidson@sympatico.ca Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee http://www.globalgenealogy.com/census --

hi Beill: Try the United Church Archives at: http://unitedchurcharchives.vicu.utoronto.ca/ They may do look-ups - or it is certainly worth a visit and they have hook-ups for laptops The Congregational Church along with the Presbyterian & Methodist Churches, formed the Union. Those churches who joined were required to send their old records to the United Church Archives. I found Knox Presbyterian Church, now Caledon United Church, in the UC Archives - under Toronto Conference, under Alton. This was the church my gr. grandparents (Wallwin) attended and I had quite a search to find them. The Presbyterian churches in Caledon W. Twp. joined with other Presbyterian Churches, sometimes 3 times so I had to go through the whole township before I found them. Sometimes persistence pays off. Hope this helps.
