Originally Transcribed by: Denise Vickers
Digitally Designed & Transcribed by: Cheryl Canty & Denise Vickers

This area is not yet covered by the site search. If you need to search this page for a name, use ctrl+F, enter the name your looking for and keep hitting the "Find" button or the "Enter" key on your keyboard till you find them. All names are not spelled as we know them. If you cannot find them try finding them under their first name only, or last name only, or by alternate spellings.
 
All entries are as we see them. They have been transcribed by the actual census images. Please note that any entry with a "?" is due to the fact that it was too difficult to tell what is there, with any accuracy.
 
Names are spelled as they appear !
 
This census is very large and will take quite a while to get it all online. We thought you might like to search it while we do them rather than wait till it is all done before putting it on the website. Therefore as soon as a page is complete we will be putting it online.
