Below is a list of census and assessment records which I have indexed.
Early assessment and census records for the most part only name the head of the family. There are exceptions, such as the 1839 Otonabee Twp. assessment, which lists names of all household members. Most early census and assessment records grouped and identified family members by sex and age. Most commonly the family was recorded as male or female, and above or below 16 years of age. Perhaps the most important variable recorded in many early assessments was the location of the family property per concession and lot. A valuable tool for family research are the land registry records, which may be searched when one knows the concession and lot of a property owner. Other details in early census and assessment records included family religion, as well as livestock records. The 1848 census/assessment records were somewhat more detailed, with several more age groupings of family members, as well as many more details on the family, and their assets. Post 1850 Collector's Rolls also only identify the head of the family, but do provide a lot of interesting details on family assets.
Canada Census records for 1851 through 1901 do name all family members for the most part. The diligence of old-time enumerators varied widely, from the 1851 Manvers Census in which many actual birth dates were recorded for individual family members, to the 1851 Emily Census, with very poor handwrighting and many family members identified by initials only.
