    3. To all:- It does not seem possible that Parliament will resume on this coming Monday -- no Speech from the Throne, but it could be interesting. At least we do not have census release to think about but there are bills in both the House of Commons and Senate in which many might be interested. At least, our soon-to-be former Governor-General left us with a long overdue challenge cup -- for the best women's hockey team! Our Minister of Veteran's Affairs, Albina Guarnieri DOES answer her mail -- I had occasion to ask her about "how many years makes one a veteran". Today I received a beautiful postcard, 2 - 0 - 0 - 5, Year of the Veteran / Année de l'ancien combattant The card is beautiful with well-known poppy and gold maple leaf. The 1911 census, the last one prior to World War One, was passed June 28, 2005 and many have written to me that their ancestor's family was online -- many did not return but the family is there, complete with the one who went overseas. YUKON is 100% transcribed!!!!!!! Which province or territory will be the next one? One thing I have noticed, a person might transcribe only ONE or two lines -- there are FIFTY lines on each page of the Canada-wide Automated Genealogy -- reachable at http://automatedgenealogy.com/census11/ or http://automatedgenealogy.com/index.html [The FIFTY lines might need to be invented by clicking on Submit] Just follow the directions -- and if you goof, as I did, it can be changed before the proofreaders look over our work. Which province or territory will follow YUKON? We are not publishing very much in regular mail lists -- a gathering of items such as this, the column written by Gordon Watts, and other items -- many changes might be made on scoreboards. The Laugh of the Day:- I have never announced my middle name -- sort of dislike it but was too young to argue. The Opposition Party learned it some way -- plus a letter and request. [Not answered!!!] Either myself or Gordon Watts will assist strugglers with census transcribing, also we have at least eight blank census forms - just ask us. Muriel M.

    3. To all 1911 census researchers and transcribers:- I have already noticed that many of the women and girls are not called by their given name, but by loving nicknames. The following might assist you to possibly figure out the correct given name, e.g. Abby for Abigail [an example] http://www.abcgenealogy.com/cgi-bin/links/jump.cgi?ID=14533 Suggestion:- Please save the above URL as you work on the 1911 census -- there was another site, but it was too long. These are all helpful aids to complete the census records, especially the Automated Genealogy as this one is coast to coast. When at a page with sites in the lower left corner, click on the Library and Archives Canada -- a great deal of data for all. Enjoy our census records!!! Microfiche will be available soon. Muriel M.

I thought that I had posted about this earlier, but there may have been a problem when sending it from a location away from home. In any case, I copy here the pertinent information I received from LAC about the numbers in column 18 of the 1911 Census. ========================= The numbers in column 18 were entered by the individuals preparing the census with coding for mechanical tabulation. We will be adding further information (see draft version below) to our contextual help early in September. 1911 Census - Column 18 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 first part of the code refers to one of the general main divisions of occupations or industries as follows : 0 All agricultural 1 Building trades 2 Domestic and personal service 3 Civil and municipal government 4 Fishing and hunting 5 Forestry and lumbering 6 Manufactures - mechanical and textiles 7 Manufactures - Food and clothing 8 Mining 9 Professional 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 6 Receiving wages 9 Employee The third part of the code refers to the trade. The numbers are from the "Index to occupations" based on the results of the Fourth census of Canada (1901). This publication apparently gave a list of the codes; however, we have been unable to locate this publication.. We have determined that number 32 is a blacksmith and 00 a farmer. ======================= Subsequent to receiving this information, I have been compiling a list of occupation codes that I have identified from viewing the 1911 Census schedules and have identified about 100 occupations so far. There appear to be classes of occupations as there is occasionally more than one occupation given for a specific code. I will shortly try to put this information into a form suitable for downloading and will place a link to it on the Post 1901 Census project website. As I am able to identify further occupations I will update the file on the website. I will be unable to work on this in the coming week so do not look for it yet. I will post when it has been added to the website. While LAC identified only three numbers for the second part of the code, I have so far noted on the schedules, every number between 0 and 9, with the exception of 1 and 4. These numbers obviously have some further references to different classes of workers but I have yet to identify them. Some possibilities would include 'civil servants', 'municipal worker' etc. I will be spending some time in the Vancouver Public Library, and the library of Simon Fraser University, in an effort to find the publication referred to by my contact in LAC. The logical explanation for the code 'NG' is 'not given' or 'none given'. In relation to column 18 this notation is most often shown for children under the age of 10, or wives of the head of household, who are shown as students or not employed. It does occasionally show up in other columns where other information under the general heading would indicate that the column in which 'NG' appears is not applicable to the individual being looked at.

Hi, My name is Rebecca Wilbanks from Georgia and i am researching George Watson I know him and his family were in Peel County in 1873 he was listed as a carpenter his wife's name was Margret (Bell)??? Children were Minnie, Lillian, Fredrick, Eva, and Charles. His daughter Minnie is my 2nd great grandmother i think. She married a Robert Dean and lived in toronto when the 1901 census was done and they had a son named Oliver Watson Dean. If i'm correct Oliver is my Great grandad and ended up in Georgia there were stories about his father having been murdered he never told anyone where he was from and never talked about his childhood. All my granny remembers is hi talking about an Eva alot. I hope someone knows anything i have no dates or anything on this family any help would be appriciated.

    1. 1911 Census:- A Few Holiday Weekend Ancestor Research Helpful Hints
    2. Muriel M. Davidson
    3. To all:- [ Suggest this memo be printed and may be forwarded] Many of us have ancestors in all parts of the world, but the main interest now is locating the ones appearing on the Canadian census records of 1901, 1906 and as of June 29, 2005, the 1911 census. These last records, 1911 to 2001, will be made available to us at five year intervals with a great deal of data at http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census The release of these records is due to a very determined, hard-working Senator Lorna Milne -- and also to Murray Calder when he was a Member of Parliament. The campaign started March 15, 1999. The first census AID received were IMAGES of the 1911 census -- http://www.collectionscanada.ca/archivianet/1911/index-e.html although hard to read at times, these are being transcribed by many, both in Canada and United States, being stored on sites, for example Lunenburg County census records http://www.rootsweb.com/~canns/lunenburg/census.html Lindsay Patton has again made Automated Genealogy available -- the many places in Canada are being transcribed. One signs in, claims the page, and up pops the 1911 (or other) image. [I use a magnifying glass and increase size of writing by clicking on the + sign at the top bar of the census image]. http://automatedgenealogy.com/census11/ All finished submitted pages should have 50 lines even if one has to manufacture extra lines -- makes it easier for Lindsay Patton. A real PLUS -- When at the Automated Genealogy site, scroll down to the bottom left, there are three sites, including Libraries and Archives Canada -- have the speakers on!!! The other two sites -- these are links to veteran sites and others. For those searching the 1901 census, one will find Alberta, Saskatchewan and the Territories listed as The Territories. The 1901 and 1906 (three western provinces) are being finished by volunteers from Alberta and otherwise. [See Map URL below] On the 1911 census, Nunavut is included under NorthWest Territories as separation was about 10 years ago. People researching Newfoundland use the Grand Banks site as this is a new province as of 1949. It is suggested, when searching for people from Newfoundland, search could be done in the Cape Breton Island areas, due to employment. In addition, Canada has evolved over the years from 1740 and this can only be shown by maps - Historical Maps of Canada, etc. http://atlas.gc.ca/site/english/maps/historical At one time, New Brunswick was part of Nova Scotia until about 1786, Maine's border was the Passamaquoddy River, and Amherst was the dividing place -- "location where the waters almost meet". Microfiche at libraries might be available this month, but in the meantime, plain census forms are available at http://www.archivecdbooks.ca/downloads.html [scroll down] [If publicizing, please give credit to ones who provided forms -- I was only a contact]. Enjoy the weekend -- parents will enjoy quiet days next week!! A final note -- For Canadians who want to help, the CBC website at http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/katrina/ lists several organizations that are supporting the relief operation. They can spend the money on what is needed. Muriel M. Davidson muriel_davidson@sympatico.ca Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee Brampton, ON http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~downhome/post1901census.htm

    1. Letter from the Office of the Information Commissioner

    3. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gordon A. Watts" <gordon_watts@telus.net> To: <CANADA-CENSUS-CAMPAIGN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, August 26, 2005 2:45 PM Subject: Re - [CCC] Letter from the Office of the Information Commissioner Greetings All. While the letter announcing the cessation of the legal action by the Information Commissioner on our behalf is disappointing, it was not unexpected. As with the legal action initiated for the 1906 Census, the release of the records removed the reason for the action. It would have been interesting to see what the courts would have said regarding that action. We are reasonably confident that had Bill S-18 not been passed before the court hearing was to take place that the clauses of the Access to Information and Privacy Acts, and Privacy Regulations, that clearly state that records of Census would be made available after 92 years, would have been upheld. However, as the saying goes nothing is certain except death and taxes. We are pleased that our efforts of the past seven years were 95% successful, and we thank the Information Commissioner for being willing to 'go to bat' on our behalf. Enjoy the Census! Gordon A.

I searched www.canada411.ca for W (W) Allen/Allan/alan in Mississauga without success (found only "Walter"), so I tried burials in Peel County on www.islandnet.ca/ocfa and found no one in the right part of the county. Knowing that Mississauga is not far from Toronto and many people move there, I tried www.canada411.ca for Toronto. I found a W.W. Allan there (one of 3 W. Allan s). There are also 7 W. Allen s, but no W. Alan s. While this won't include any unlisted numbers, it does include postal addresses for most people (unfortunately without apartment numbers where required). Regarding marriages: Ontario Civil Registration of Marriages up to the early 1920's is in the public domain, but not the late '20's yet, so I hope someone is able to help you with the church records. If you need to handle it yourself, the church's contact info is: St Peter's Anglican Church 905-828-2095 1745 Dundas Street West, Mississauga, ON L5K 2E1 Good luck, Carrie Burlington, ON ----- Original Message ----- From: <Lpertelt@aol.com> To: <CAN-ONT-PEEL-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 23, 2005 8:01 PM Subject: [Can-Ont-Peel] Thomas Allen/Ruby Ethel Patchett > Trying to find a marriage date for Thomas Allen spouse Ruby Ethel Patchett. > I suspect they were probably married in the late 1920's possibly at St. > Peter's Anglican Church.
