Is is somehow possible to find the street address of a person in the 1901 census.

Yes you can find the address of a person in the 1901 census especially if they lived in a non-rural area; in rural area the address is the identification of a piece of property in terms of Concession / Range, and Lot within a township.

First you must identify the page and line # of the head of household of the required person. (As an example: James A. Watts who is head of family 45, on line 44 of page 4 of Port Hope (Town/Ville) e-3 Subdistrict, in the district of DURHAM (East/Est), in Ontario).

Then go to the subdistrict summary via the link "Go to: Subdistrict Number:" at the bottom of the page the person is listed on (right clicking on "e-3" in this case) then go to the Library and Archives Canada website "ArchiviaNet" via the "Open Archives listings for" link which is located immediately below the list of pages for the subdistrict (right clicking on "Open Archives listings for Port Hope (Town/Ville) e-3" in this case). Use of that link which will open "ArchiviaNet" in a new window in which you will find schedule 2 forms for the subdistrict listed, as Item 1. Each line of schedule 2 has a page number (Column 1) and line number (Column 2) for a household and the associated address (Column 3). You have to scan through the schedule 2 pages to find the page and line number, but it is a very finite process (There are two pages in this case, in the "associated images" selection box). Select page 1 which will open the page image in a new window. Select the "magnifying glass with the + sign" icon then right click on the image until the writing is easily readable, then to view the required image area, select the "hand" icon then right click and hold on the image while moving the mouse in the direction that you want the image to move within the viewing area. (Ref to page 4 line 44 can be found on line 45 which indicate they resided on Walton St. Note that the "C" refer to the type of address which are identified in the heading of Column 3)

Note: if the "Open Archives listings for" results in "No record", right click on "ArchiviaNet" part of "Home > ArchiviaNet" then select "Census of Canada, 1901" in the List of Research Tools. Then select "Search the database" Then enter the subdistrict name in the "geographic Location" box (example: "Parry Sound (Town/Ville) i(1)-3"), then right click on the "Submit query" button.

I have tried the method recommended on the site below with no success at linking to addresses. I suspect that the 'route has changed.
Can someone update the method so I can find the addresses of those in the 1901 or 1906 censuses?

The method and the links still work for 1901. On which District/Subdistrict/Page/Line# is the head of the household you are trying to find the location for?

[Alain Dawson]

Lolly,

Please note that in 1906,

Alain's method is quite good.

Hello,

I tried this method but you do not say what line to select after you right click on "e-3". I tried clicking on open but I don't get an address.

thanks for your help,

You want to open the target page when you click or right click on E-3 which takes you to the Library & Archives Canada website.
This is the link in the E-3 example, where you will see:

Province/Territory: Ontario
District Name: DURHAM (East/Est)
District Number: 55
Sub-district Name: Port Hope (Town/Ville)
Sub-district Number: e-3
Schedule: 2
Reference: RG31 , Statistics Canada
Microfilm Reel Number: T-6464
Finding Aid Number: 31-40
The following images are associated with this entry:
Associated images: pg. 1 pg. 2 [dropdown box]

Schedule 2 - Return of Buildings and Lands, Churches and Schools has the addresses (Schedule 1 - Population is what is indexed). You want to select the Schedule 2 page in the "Associated Images" dropdown box that includes the page number and line number of the head of the household you are looking for. In Alain's example the family is on page 4 line 44 of Schedule 1 which is found on page 1 of Schedule 2. In larger districts it may take some trial and error to find the page of Schedule 2 that has the household you want.

I found the address by using the Page and Line numbers from Schedule 1, then located them on Schedule 2. District 116, sub-district a 24 indicated that for Page 4 Line 43 the address for C R Wilks was 343 Yonge St.
