This page should have the most comprehensive list of Halifax County census information & links anywhere! - June 4, 2010 The census information for Halifax County starts with early Victualling lists from 1750, 1752. The next avaliable census information for the area of Halifax County would be the 1791-93 Poll Tax lists that taxed all men over the age of 18, or who owned land. The 1827 Census of Nova Scotia comes next which covers much of the county, but excludes the city. The 1838 Census lists the Head of Household, Occupation as well as the ages of all the males and females living in the house, and the total amount of people. This census was followed by the 1851 of which we are lucky and Halifax County has survived, and then 1861 the last Provincial Census. From 1871-1901 all members of the household were listed with different information added to each person in the 1891 census and the whole birth date in the 1901 Census. | |
