Population Schedules
From 1851 to 1901, a census occurred every ten years in Canada. Newfoundland and Labrador officially joined Canada on 31 March 1949. From 1907 to 1949, it was the Dominion of Newfoundland and relatively autonomous from British rule. For a more detailed history, see Newfoundland and Labrador. For Newfoundland few 19th-century censuses that list names have been found. They mostly contain statistical summaries.

Online Province Censuses
Province censuses are census records that were taken at the province level. Often, but not always, a state took their census in ten year increments. Province censuses can even serve as substitutes for missing Canada censuses.
