Part of 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" key 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 hard too difficult to tell what is there, with any accuracy.
 
Names are spelled as they appear !
 
 
There are 21 pages of this census, and they are on two pages of the website. Please follow the links at the bottom of the census on each page.
