The village of Bunbury, Prince Edward Island, was incorporated in 1969. However the area had been occupied by native, Acadian and English settlers respectively for over two hundred years prior to that date. In 1882 it became a school district. In 1993 the communities of Bunbury, Southport, Cross Roads, Keppoch- Kinloch, and Battery Point amalgamated and in 1994 the amalgamated area was divided into three wards with the western half of bunbury becoming part of Kelly's Cove Ward and the eastern half within Tea Hill Ward.

A Roman Catholic census of Charlottetown : [1886] / prepared for and donated to the Diocese of Charlottetown by Louis J. Daley

  • 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.

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.
