Sub-series consists of records from the 1870 Manitoba census and census returns from Red River, 1831-1870. Most records prior to 1825 simply indicate heads of households. The 1825 census indicates the head of the household, the number of persons living in each household, age groups, and marital status. The census for 1842, 1851, and 1861 answer essentially the same questions but in greater detail and give information pertaining to houses occupied, number of buildings, types of housing, property ownership, land occupied, place of birth, age, sex, marital status, infirmities, religion, occupation or profession, education, agricultural crops, farm animals and their products, taverns or houses of public entertainment, stores where spiritous liquors sold, mills, manufacturers, distilleries, and wages paid to individuals. From 1851 on, all persons, not just heads of households, were enumerated, and an agricultural census was compiled separately. (RG31, Vols. ?)
