Notes
-
The first nominal census for New Brunswick was taken in 1851. Since that time enumerations have been taken at ten year intervals. Names appear in the order of residence visited by the enumerator. Census records include name, age, nativity, religion, occupation, and relationship to head of household. A unique data category in the 1851 Census is the date of entry of the individual into New Brunswick. Madawaska County was created in 1873. At the time of the 1851 census, the territory included in present-day Madawaska County comprised four civil parish divisions of Victoria County: Madawaska, Saint Basile, Saint Francis and Saint Leonard. Present-day Saint Jacques and Saint Hilaire were part of Madawaska parish, and Sainte Anne was part of Saint Leonard and Saint Basile parishes.
