A Roman Catholic census of Charlottetown : [1878-1879] / Prepared for the Diocese of Charlottetown by Louis J. Daley

  • CA PCA Acc4323
  • Fonds
  • Transcribed 1993

This fonds consists of an typed transcript by Louis J. Daley of the information contained in the Roman Catholic Census of Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, taken in 1878-1879. Every attempt was made to adhere to the original, leaving spelling errors intact. Although undated, comparisons with Canadian censuses and baptismal records put the date at 1878/79. The ledger from which this volume has been transcribed was found by Mr. Daley in the basement of the Bishop's Palace in Charlottetown in the summer of 1991.

The census contains extensive information about Catholics living in 716 households in Charlottetown. It documents household number, street, father's name, mother's maiden name, clergy officiating at the marriage, occupations, school attended by children in the family, and remarks. Occupations sometimes give employer's name as well, e.g. Baker @ Quirk's. Enumerators are supposed to have been Father Nazaire Charles Antoine Bouderault and Father Stephen Phelan, assistants at the cathedral parish at the time.

The Diocese of Charlottetown was created on 11 August 1829, largely through the efforts of Bishop Angus Bernard MacEachern. The Diocese encompasses all of the parishes on Prince Edward Island although it also originally included New Brunswick and the Magdalen Islands as well. St. Dunstan's parish is the largest parish within the Diocese, originally taking in all of the City of Charlottetown, with the parish church of St. Dunstan's, built in 1812, located in the heart of the city. As well as ministering to the spiritual and physical well-being of their congregations, it appears to have been the custom of the Diocese to do periodic censuses of their parishioners.

  • CA PCA Acc4408
  • Fonds
  • Transcribed 1994

This fonds consists of a transcription of the census containing the names of Catholics belonging to St. Dunstan's parish in 1886. This also included outlying communities such as Southport, East and West Royalty, parts of Lots 48 and 49 as well as North River and Cornwall. Entries include name, address, age, condition (apparently financial), and occupation. There is also a remarks column which may include school attended, physical infirmities, moral circumstances, and religious affiliation other than Catholic.

A Short description of the Island of St. John, in the Gulph of St. Lawrence, North-America : [25 June 1779]

  • CA PCA Acc4437
  • Fonds
  • 25 June 1779

This fonds consists of a pamphlet which appears to be one of Robert Clark's attempts to entice settlers to the colony of St. John's Island. Signed by various London merchants, it depicts an idyllic pastoral setting with great prospects of profit in agriculture, fishing, and commerce for those of an industrious and enterprising nature. All this was to be had for the purchase price of 100 per 500 acres or for a lease granted on "the most reasonable terms".
