A FREE AND PUBLIC resource; searchable and with a more informative description in this proprietary Ancestry.com Records Collection.
The seventh national census was taken on June 1, 1931. Information was further condensed into four schedules:
Schedule 1: Population
Schedule 2: Agriculture
Schedule 3: Institutions
Schedule 4: Merchandising and service establishments
Only Schedule 1 was preserved and it had 40 questions. In the 1931 Census three different forms of the population scheduled were used:
Form 1A for the Maritimes and Québec and Ontario
Form 1B for the Western provinces
Form 1 - N.W.T. for the Northwest Territories
In one instance a rather resourceful enumerator, used an accountant’s ledger book to record information.
2 CONT The 1931 Census was the first to ask if the family owned a radio. Since this Census was taken during the Depression, there are also several questions related to unemployment, including periods of unemployment and causes.
The sub-district names or boundaries in 1931 are not the same as those for 1921, particularly for large cities.
