Joe, I am not an Ancestry user/subscriber but I see the Canadian censuses are on Ancestry.ca at least and are searchable - http://www.ancestry.ca/ On the home page, go down to Canadian Census Collection (lower left) and click on 1851. Enter the name of James Millyard and, in the province box, Canada West (Ontario), and it brings up only one candidate, born about 1819, so it looks like your man. York County is the area surrounding and probably (at that time) including Toronto - where he married. You need a subscription (14-day free trial available) to see the details. Over to you - and good luck, Christine Jackson Joe Austen <austengenealogy@iprimus.com.au> wrote: I take it that it is not on Ancestry then.

(Each province also has its own archives.) Canada was not created until 1867 so, before that, various sections of the country/provinces did their own censuses. See 'What Census are Available' in the lefthand menu. To my knowledge, the Canadian censuses are still not digitized so are not searchable by name - you have to know roughly where they lived to do a search. An organization called Automated Genealogy has a project underway to digitize the censuses - check their progress at http://automatedgenealogy.com/ You also wish to contact the Ontario Archives at http://www.archives.gov.on.ca/ It may not be easy - good luck!
