The 1871 and later censuses list for each member of the household:
 * Name.
 * Age.
 * Occupation.
 * Religious affiliation.
 * Birthplace (country or province).

The 1871 and 1881 censuses also list for each person:
 * Father’s origin or ethnic background.


 * The 1891 census, in addition, asks:
 * If persons are French Canadian.
 * For parents’ birthplaces.

The 1891 and later censuses also ask for a person’s:
 * Relationship to head of household.

The 1901 census also asks for:
 * A complete birth date, not just the year.
 * The year the person immigrated to Canada.
 * The year of naturalization.
 * The father’s racial or tribal origin, not whether the person was of French Canadian descent.
 * The 1901 census also contains a buildings and lands schedule for each locality. This schedule gives a city street address or a farm land description—such as township and range, or township, concession, and lot number—for most families.
