P7 University of Prince Edward Island A Gift to the Robertson Library Frrm &tiJa)£k &Uuj,— Prepared for tbe Diocese of Charlottetown by Couis J. Daley 1993 Introduction During the summer of 1991 while researching early Roman Catholic burial records at the Basilica Parish Office, I was given permission by Father Gerry Tingley, Rector of St. Dunstan's Parish, to investigate the basement and the attic of the Bishop's Palace in search of old books which might be of value. In the basement I discovered a ledger which contained extensive information about Catholics living in 716 households in Charlottetown. It turned out to be a census, compiled by the Parish of St. Dunstan's, of parishioners living in Charlottetown. Of interest to me at that time were the deaths recorded therein. By comparing ages in the ledger with those contained in the 1881 Canadian Government Census, and checking some baptismal records, it was determined that the census was taken during the years 1878-1879. Believing the census to be an important genealogical and historical resource, I showed it to Sister Lauretta White, Chancellor of the Diocese of Charlottetown. I then took it to Rev. Francis Bolger, renowned Island historian and to Mr. Harry Holman Chief Provincial Archivist. All believed it to be a new and valuable resource that should be made available to the public. The census contains the household number, street, father's name, mother's maiden name, clergy officiating at the marriage, occupations, school attended, and remarks as well as whether or not the person received the sacraments of Holy Eucharist and Confirmation. By comparing handwriting contained in the census with that contained in the parish registers of the time, it appears that the enumerators were Father Nazaire Charles Antoine Bouderault and Father Stephen Thomas Phelan both of whom were assistants at the cathedral parish in Charlottetown at that time. (The book contained no dates or names of those compiling the data.) The census contains much useful knowledge which may not be available from any other source. Of major significance is the entry of the wife's maiden name. Although this information is available if the couple were married on P.E.I., through the church records, often the marriages took place elsewhere. * Another entry of significance is that of the clergyman officiating at the wedding. One can compare the priest's name with lists of priests of P.E.I, and determine whether or not the couple was married here. Sometimes the entry will give the priest's name and the location of the wedding, such as in the case of Francis Murphy who married Mary Connors. Under the heading BY WHOM MARRIED the entry reads Father Barret, Chicago. Chicago may be another "jumping off place" for those attempting to trace the Murphy or Connors family. The occupations of the Charlottetown citizens of the time as listed in the census help to paint a historical picture of the city. That James Doolan was the City lamp lightei tells us that the street lights were gas powered at the time. The number of cooper (barrel maker) and seafaiing man entries tells us that Charlottetown was still very much involved in trade. The trades of blockmakei and ship's carpenter infer that sailing vessels were still used, although the age of the steamship had arrived. The railway, in its infancy on the Island, provided jobs such as brakesman and engineei to some citizens of the town. Of the thirteen schools listed here, it is evident that girls attended school in much greater numbers than did boys. The two schools frequented most by girls were St. Joseph's and St. Ann's. Boys attended City Schools (later known as West Kent) and St. Patrick's (became Queen Square) respectively in greatest numbers. The number of Irish people making up the population was large as evidence from the census names indicate. Scots and Germans were present also. In transcribing the census I have attempted to adhere to the original as closely as possible. If words were spelled incorrectly no attempt was made to change them. For example, when writing Sidney Street the enumerators used the Sidney spelling at times while at others using Sydney. It appears that way in the transcription. At times it was difficult to decipher a word. Sources such as the 1881 government census were consulted in order to arrive at a logical wording. The genealogist attempting to trace his or her family history will find a number of connections between people in this census and a list of burials found in the article appearing in the spring and summer 1993 issue of The Island Magazine. Another source worth checking is Charlottetown The Life In its Buildings by Irene Rogers, which points out the location of the homes and businesses of some people listed in the census. Also it is interesting to examine the map of Charlottetown produced at the time entitled A Panoramic View of Charlottetown Prince Edward Island 1878, by Albert Ruger, a reduced portion of which may be found on the cover, (The above publications are available at the Prince Edward Island Museum and Heritage Foundation at Beaconsfield, 2 Kent Street Charlottetown). Also included in the ledger was the following list of girls confirmed at St. Joseph's Convent that year: Ellen Pendergast Ada Gaul Susan Reddin Winnie McDonald Ellen McCraith Clara Hogan Angelina Hollaran Julia Carey Margaret McEachern Sarah Connolly Bridget Doiron Anastasia Doiron Catherine Bell Margaret Kelly Margaret Burke Susan Dooling Ellen Reddin Bridget Mooney Matilda Bowden Margaret Griffin Bridget Sullivan Margaret Lahey Ann Grimes Catherine Kearney Sarah Woods Ann Hopping Claire ?????
