There are two parts to these pages. The first part is an index of surnames
sorted alphabetically. It gives enough information that you should be easily
able to find the names in the Division of the census where it is located.
I did things this way so that you wouldn't have to check every page just to find
out your ancestor or relative isn't listed at all. The entire census could
have been done as one large alphabetical file, but that would make it difficult
if not impossible to find neighbours, relatives or lodgers. The actual census
transcription includes most of the information found on the films. This second
part is listed by census Division, with a list of the areas covered.


Once you find a person you wish to locate in the actual census, note the Area and Place
information, as well as the Dwelling and Family Numbers. You can then use this to:-


• Locate the major division of the census below using Area and Place.
• Use the Dwelling and Family Numbers to move to the page you want.

The Index to the Alphabetical List gives the surname at the top of each of the
209 pages. Many could be misspelled by census takers or in transcription. Try all the
spellings that you can think of.
