 Nova Scotia Census Records - Halifax County - 1891

Some Districts, like cities and towns have more than one Sub-District included in the table. Click the next button in sequence below the image viewer to jump to the next set of images. If there are no extra Sub-Districts for the area, no buttons will be shown. The extra buttons will be shown when you choose which viewer you want to use. The number total number of images shown from Ancestry & LAC may not be the same. I removed duplicates and any unnecessary or blank images in the LAC viewer. Where possible, I have put the Ancestry images in order. You can choose to use either the Ancestry image viewer (if you have a subscription), or the image viewer I created to view Library & Archive Canada's free images.

1891 Census - Halifax County - Districts 33 (Halifax City) & 34 (Halifax County)


The 1891 Census marked the third regularly scheduled collection of national statistics. This enumeration was managed by Canada's new Dominion Statistician, George Johnson, a journalist by training. Johnson followed the path of his predecessor, Joseph-Charles Taché, using a set of census questions focused on qualitative results gathered according to consistent standards that were developed through observational protocols; these results created data that was easier to analyze and upon which the government could reliably base decisions when the compiled results were made public. Consequently few changes were made for the collection of 1891 Census information. I have attempted to transcribe all the names with the common spellings used today. Want to transcribe an area?
