1861 census Ontario Please??
« on: Tuesday 20 April 10 05:50 BST (UK) »
Does anyone have access to the Canada 1861 census, through ancestry maybe??

Ontario Peel County, Caledon - I'm looking for the family of William and Lucinda McLachlan (may be spelled differently)
Here they are in 1852
1852
Home / 1852 / Canada West / Peel (county) / 269 Caledon township / p. 21d, 22a, (123)
22 McLaughlan, Wm Farmer b. Scotland Church of Scotland   30 M
23 McLaughlan, Lucinda  b. Canada Church of Scotland   20 F

and in 1871 (Lucinda a widow by then)
1871 page 8 district 40 #28
lot 6 concession 22 owner 100 acres
McLachlan
Lucinda 37 b Ont. Meth. NC Irish Farmer (Irish is wrong)
William 17 farmer
John 15 farmer
Alexander H 13
Adeline E 11
Henry W 9
Finley H  6
Adam R 4

In 1861 son Henry may or may not have been born.

Also William Cooper (b~1837 England maybe and wife Sarah b 1834 is Ontario)

William Scott b~ 1836 Ont. May be living with realtives ( Fosters?). Peel or Wellington county. Middle name "Foster"

Lucinda nee Scott was my gg grandmother - sarah and william were her siblings

Much thanks!

Hi ard,

Haven't found Lucinda, but did find the rest.

William & Sarah Cooper are living in Caledon, Peel. It appears that they may have a child named Alex & William F. Scott is living with them.

Thanks Lisa - I went and had a look at the library version of ancestry. That is definately William and Sarah Cooper and Sarah's brother William F Scott.

I think I found the agricultural information for William "McLauchlan" 1861 in Caldedon but for some reason not  in the "people census" of 61 - I did find some of the other relatives who normally would have been living nearby. A bit confusing.

Thanks for looking!
