1861 Census of Percy Township Division 2
|
For anyone who has ancestors in Northumberland County Percy Township, Division 2, the enumerator for the 1861 census made a lucky error in interpretation. The column "Married During the Year" was interpreted to mean "In what year were you married?" Therefore for married couples all but the last two pages of the census records for this division have a year entered in this column.

Like all census records, this should only be a guide until you can find confirming evidence, but this little nugget of information may help you in your search. The links below will take you to transcriptions of the pertinent details of those records. Note that some information was not provided and some of the writing was difficult to decipher. A question mark (?) indicates that the interpretation of the writing is my best guess. Remember to check all possible spellings of the surname.

If you find your ancestors listed here - great - that was my purpose in doing the transcriptions. If you want actual photocopies of the microfilm records, that can be arranged.
