I know you can view the 1851 census on line at Library & Archives Canada http://www.collectionscanada.ca/archivianet/1851/index-e.html But when you get there, to find the area I am looking, I just don't know where to start. I am hoping that some on this list can direct me in the correct direction. The areas I am looking for as follows; Shinimicas, Cumberland County, Nova Scotia, Canada Chapman Settlement, Cumberland County, Nova Scotia, Canada Fort Lawrence, Cumberland County, Nova Scotia, Canada Newfoundland Amherst, Cumberland County, Nova Scotia, Canada Gloucester Junction, New Brunswick, Canada I have selected Nova Scotia, but then the Census Districts and Sub-districts, I don't know which one to choose. My options are: Halifax (county), Kings (county), Pictou (county) This is where I don't know the area I am looking for should be. Can anyone direct me to the correct spot. Thanking you in advance Jean M. Smith
Jean, Most of the 1851 census for Nova Scotia was lost. The only counties remaining are the ones you mentioned. Since None of the areas you are interested in are in those three counties, I'm afriad you are out of luck with regard to the 1851 census. As you have noted, they are in Cumberland County - or not in Nova Scotia at all.
