Canadian Census

[WendyPusey]

Does anyone have access to the Canadian Census.

I am trying to find Leonard PUSEY born 1864 Uxbridge and his Parents.

His father is James PUSEY born 1828 Buckinghamshire and they moved to Canada c1871. I think he had a brother William c1849 Buckinghamshire.

I have found him in 1911 but can't access any others.

Would be most gratefull for any information.

Hi Wendy

I don't have a sub to see overseas but there is a match on Ancestry:

1891 census
Leonard Pusey born 1864, spouse Clara, in Victoria, British Columbia.

1871 census
Leonard Pusey b abt 1864, in St Mary's Ward, Hamilton, Ontario.

You can search the 1871, 1881 and 1891 censuses free on FamilySearch.

And the 1901 is free at http://automatedgenealogy.com/census
but there is only one Pusey and she is called Pricilla.

This looks like him in Victoria, BC in 1901, transcribed as Pursey:

There's also an entry for the death of Leonard Pusey, aged 89, in 1954 in Vancouver and another for Leonard Alan Pusey aged 58 in 1980 in BC Archives. Also deaths for James (1893 aged 68) and Ellen (1880 aged 52) but can't see one for William.

If you want details of them, I can look them up.

Thanks everyone for your help.

Didn't know the Canadian census was on Family Search. Thanks Kate.

My OH's Great uncle was Leonard Montague PUSEY and this family in Canada have Montague as a middle name as GG Grandma's maiden name was MONTAGUE.

Several of Leonard's siblings have similar names as this family, so I'm trying to find a link. There must be a link somewhere!
