Hi Wendl,
Do you, by any chance, know if there are plans to index the census at some point? I know my ancestor should be there somewhere, but Canada is a big place to search when you don't know which town they may be in!
Thanks,

Living in England I have no idea of the geography of Montreal.
Could someone point me in the right direction and suggest an area where my rellies might have lived in 1911,so I know where to start searching the census.
I have one who married in Apr 1911 at St John the Evangelist and one in Aug 1911 at St Marks Presbyterian church.
My relatives were from Scotland and had literally only just arrived in Canada.The only street name I have is Nazareth,but that wasn't till 1914-when the youngest one joined up to the army(2 years later he was dead-as were 2 of his brothers)
Many thanks for your help,
Carol

HI SAHARA,
MY UNDERSTANDING IS THEY WILL INDEX THE 1911 CENSUS AT SOMEPOINT...BELIEVE THEY ARE STILL IN THE PROCESS OF PROOF READING THE 1901 CENSUS ...MIGHT TRY THE FOLLOWING SITE TO KEEP UP TO DATE ON WHAT IT IS HAPPENING....

They have started doing some test transcriptions, and have had discussions on what to transcribe. It's in some of the discussion groups on the site. I would give them 6 months to a year and the transcription will be done...... (but that's just my guess....)

Thanks for letting us know the 1911 is online. I have waited for this day to find my grandparents and the date of their arrival in Canada.. Found them so I am ecstatic.

I am looking for surname index for British Columbia Canada for 1911 census. How can I find it? The surname is Gallop.

Hi Grubhearn
Welcome to Rootschat.
If you read the rest of this thread you will see that as yet there is no surnname index.However I understand that volunteers are already working on indexing it in much the same way as the 1901 was done in Canada.
So either you trawl through page by page(which I what I am a small way through doing ::)) or you wait a while till an index is produced.
All the best

Hi Grubheam
the 1911 census will be indexed by volunteers but that may take a while. Do you have any idea where your Gallop family may be? There are other resources that may help.
from this site there are 35 Gallop listings for births, marriages, deaths in the province of BC

27 land grant listings for Gallop in BC

If you intend to search through the 1911 Canadian Census before the indexing make sure you have the correct spelling of the place you want then search all spellings of the town.
I looked for my families in Thamesville, Kent Co., Ontario & guess what, it didn't exist. So I went further & found it spelled Thomasville, got 'em.
Good hunting to all.
