1841Canada census lookup please!!

[jdoliver]

I would appreciate anyone who has access to Canada province census to look up Samuel Fraser (possibly Frazier), possibly married at that time to Marguerite Wilson. He was born in Scotland (ca 1781?), but emigrated to Canada, and was in Christieville and St. Jean, in the mid-1800s. VERY much appreciated, as he is a brick wall . . .

The earliest Canada census available is 1851/2. Have you found him on this one? If not, you can search for free at automatedgenealogy.com (RC won't let me post a direct link today).

Thanks for replying Polarbear; yes, the information I have is from the 1851 census. My understanding is there are partial records from earlier years, and I was hoping someone could find something on any of these. Jim

Ah, I had forgotten about these little tidbits.

familysearch.org has Canada, Lower Canada Census, 1842 and Canada, Lower Canada Census, 1831. RootsChat won't allow me to make a direct link to the website but if you go to it and then click on Canada then scroll down you will find them.

You can also access them through the Canada National Archives website, under census ... RC won't let me make a direct link to that either. It puts you directly through to the familysearch records in question. These will be free to use.

Googled these, but had no success; you're encouragement will drive me on! Thanks again Polarbear!

Did you mean you couldn't find the familysearch.org website, couldn't find the records when you got to it, or your man wasn't there?

There appear to be 4 Fraser/Frasier in the 1842 record, one of which was absent, 1 a physician, 1 a merchant of some sort, and 1 a shoemaker. The record is a head of household only plus the number of occupants.

I didn't check the 1831 record.
