405 Heads of Household listed in the census
Listed in order of enumeration

The 1842 census is the first available census for Malahide Township of all heads of households although Land returns for 1815 and 1817 by Thomas Talbot (published in Garret Oaks, Tales of a Pioneer, by Thorman and Clarke) contain some of the earliest known lists of settlers of the township. Also, the 1828 Militia Rolls contain the names and ages of all able bodied men between the ages of 19 and 39. The actual census gives additional information.

This work is a transcription of the census from the Family History Library film #281227.

Sources used to verify the names in the census are as follows.

1. 1828-1829 Middlesex Militia rolls giving the names and ages of men in Malahide’s 4 companies (155 names).

2. The 1842 Census - microfilm FHL film #281227

3. 1851-1901 Census for Malahide Twp. The 1851 and 1861 census indexes have been published. Note the census for south half of Malahide is missing and the published index for the 1861 census missed all the names on the second roll. You must consult the actual census until the new corrected index is made available for a complete listing of all names in the 1861 census.

4. Malahide Land papers, land patents, and Township papers.

5. Tombstone inscriptions for Malahide Township. The Malahide and Aylmer, cemetery transcriptions have been accomplished by the OGS to make it easier to locate these stones. Bear in mind that acid rain in the last five years have made many of the older stones unreadable.

6. The Anglican and Methodist parish registers.

7. Malahide Township Vital statistics and the BMD registrations. The indexes are on microfilm at the Thorman Room at the St. Thomas Library and at the St. Thomas LDS Family History Library.

8. Aylmer Express newspapers - good for obituaries starting in 1891.

Secondary Sources

1. Sims 3 Vol. History of Elgin County - This source has many errors and should not be used as a reference for vitals but as a finding aid to search for primary documentation. Not indexed.

2. Local Histories of Aylmer, Port Bruce, Springfield

3. 1877 Atlas

4. 1863 Tremaine map

5. Haggan Papers Several Vol., include McConnell, Saxtons, Marrs, Browns, Haines, Edisons.

6. Numerous published Family Histories, ie Van Patters, Johnsons, Ostranders, Carters, Browns, Nickersons, Whitesells, Zavits, Pounds, Learns, Boughners, Millers, Alwards, Moores, Woods, Pineos, Lindsays, Clunas etc. can be found at the Aylmer and St. Thomas Libraries.

 

In the following index the entry number is the actual order that the names were listed in the original 1842 census. The census does not have have page numbers so the the entry number will tell you about where to look in the list of 405 names. For example James S. Burdick is entry #102 so he should be found about 1/4 of the way through the census for Malahide on the microfilm. In addition to the number of family members actually present the census also gives the following columns:

1. Total number of inmates in each family Male and Female not resident - (The total for the Township was - 237 )

2. Number of persons belonging to the family, Male or Female now temporarily absent - (The total number for the Township was - 90 )

These numbers are not included in the numbers give for "# in Family."

Spelling

The names here are as they are actually spelled in the census. Some names were spelled as they sounded to the census taker and some families later changed the spelling of their names. Most misspellings are fairly minor although some names started with different first letters. Some examples of older spellings used are as follows:

Bancroft - given in census as Bencraft

Clunas - given in census as Clunes

Esseltine - In the census this name is given as Aselstine or Asselstine or Astleteen

Johnston - some Johnstons are given in census as Johnson It is known that Joseph and William went by the spelling Johnston even though their brothers Wellington and Reuben used Johnson

Newell - given in census as Nawall

Summers - given in census as Sommers

Other Malahide Censuses

1828 Militia Rolls

The 1828 Militia Rolls for Malahide Township are given in the 2nd Middlesex Militia which includes 8 companies for Bayham and Malahide Twp. The rolls for Malahide include 155 men between the ages of 19 and 39 and fortunately the 2nd Reg. gives ages for the privates. Also, the names appear to me given in a geographical manner so brothers living together and neighbors are placed together giving a fairly good picture of the nature of the neighborhood. Unfortunately however there is no reserve list for Malahide as there is for some other Militia rolls which would gave names of men between 40 and 60 years of age. The Militia Rolls transcription is in the Men of Upper Canada, Militia Nominal Rolls, 1828-1829, edited by Bruce S. Elliott, Dan Walker and Fawn Stratford-Devai, (2nd. Regiment Middlesex Militia, pp 146-149, 2nd Co., William Saxton, Capt., 4th Co., Abraham Backhouse, Capt., 7th Co., Henry Backhouse, Capt., and 8th Co., William Summers Capt.) published by the OGS. I have found only a very few transcription errors. Those noticed by the author are as follows:

Asa Learn is given as Asa Seam

William Pontine is given as William Vantine

In addition the following misspellings are noted.

George Laur is given as George Lawr

Levi and Nathaniel Nickerson are given as Nickinson

John Clunas is given as John Clunes

The 1842 Census

Malahide is fortunate to have not lost its 1842 Census unlike many of other townships in Canada West. The Malahide Census contains 405 heads of families and this index includes 77 names that were excluded from the first published index and correctly transcribes the names of many more that were incorrectly transcribed. In addition to the information given in this index there is much more information concerning age group categories, religion and origins. The actual census is on microfilm at the St. Thomas and Aylmer Libraries and on FHL film #281227. It should always be consulted. The index is on a continuous roll of paper and consequently can not be referred to by page number. I have included the entry number to aid in finding the ancestor in the actual census.

The 1851 Census

The 1851 census was actually taken in January of 1852. Unfortunately the south division of Malahide is missing which is why many names that should be in the 1851 published index are missing. It appears to me that all of the south 5 Concessions are missing and probably most of the 6th Concession names. The census includes all the families in the 7th through the 10th Concessions. There is also an agricultural census. The actual census indicates births or death in the preceding year and gives the type of dwelling the family lives in [ie frame, log etc.]. It is an every-name census and gives age, marital status and occupation as well as religion. Major religious groups in Malahide were Anglican, Methodists, Baptists and Quakers. If an ancestor is in the 1861 census of Malahide but not listed in the 1851 census check the Concession number where they were in the 1842 census and if it is 1 to 5 then the family was probably in the division that is lost.

The 1861 Census for Malahide Township

The published 1861 Census index for Malahide is missing dozens of names. In fact the whole 5th Division (northern Concessions) and a few pages of the 4th Division that was on a second roll of film was inadvertently omitted. This Census is in the process of being re-indexed. In the meantime if you are researching names in the northern part of the township and you can’t find them in the index you should check the actual census on the 2nd roll of film for Malahide Township, Elgin County.
