I am confused?- found with thanks
« on: Monday 09 November 09 22:20 UTC (UK) »
Hi
I am confused!  Forgive my ignorance but I have this address in 1911, 33 St Mary, Ontario, District of 126 Toronto North.  I thought Toronto and Ontario were two different places?  Does this address still exist?  Please could someone put me right?
Regards

Toronto is a major city in the province of Ontario. 
From an explanation of the 1911 census  -  Urban areas such as Toronto are usually divided into Wards. Knowing the appropriate ward will help narrow your search. There were six wards [7] in Toronto in 1911. There were five Enumeration/Electoral Districts: Toronto Centre (124), Toronto East (125), Toronto North (126), Toronto South (127) and Toronto West (128). Each District incorporates streets from several wards.

Hi,

Yes, Toronto is a City and Ontario is a Province.  Having said that there is Ontario County which is next to York Region which Toronto is in.

Could you put the link up to where you found this.
