Donna,
The street address are not always included. It is a hit ands miss depending on the enumerator.
As the addresses are located at different places depending on the census year, such as:
1911 - Schedule 1, Column 4 - Place of Habitation (township or parish, city, town or village; range or concession and lot or cadastral number if in township or parish; street and house number if in city, town or village; or other description)
This referred to the residence of the individuals listed in column 3. For cities, towns or incorporated villages, the number of the house and the name of the street were to be entered (for example, "14 Bay Street"). For rural districts, the name of the township, lot, parish or cadastral number was to be entered (for example, "lot 13, concession 1"). For Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, the location was to be noted by township, range or meridian (for example, "T. 14, R. 9, W. 3," to indicate township 14, range 9, west of the third meridian).
1906 - Schedule 1,
Column 9 - Post Office AddressLocation
Column 10 - Section
Column 11 - Township
Column 12 - Range
Column 13 - Meridian
The Post Office address was to be entered for the Head of the family only, however, if the person was being counted as with their family under the de jure system, their other address was to be entered in this column.
The location of each family referred to their place of residence. In column 10, the number of the section was to be entered, column 11 the township, column 12 the range and column 13 the lot number. In parishes, the name was to be entered in columns 10 and 11 (section and township) and the land was to be described in columns 12 and 13 (range and meridian). In cities, towns or villages the name of the street was to be entered in columns 10 and 11 and the number of the house or lot in column 12.
1901- Schedule 2 Column 3 - Places of Habitation: (a) Name of Municipality, Township or Parish; (b) Range or Concession and Lot, or Cadastral Number; (c) Street and House Number; (d) or Other Description.
Column 3 of the Schedule was to contain a description of every house or institution. The descriptions were to be so accurate that the buildings could be located on a map.
If the name of the municipality, township or parish was the same as in the heading of the schedule, it did not need to be repeated under "a."
In many parts of Quebec, the lots in town and country were described consecutively by cadastral numbers, without reference to range or concession. In Ontario, Manitoba and the Northwest Territories, farms were numbered by lot and concession or range.
In cities and towns, places were generally identified by street and number.
Each entry, whatever it was, was to be pre-fixed by the letter "a," "b," "c" or "d," in order that the type of description could be clearly understood. Thus, "b con. 4 lot 6" or "b 60" was a description related to "range or concession and lot, or cadastral number," and "c 14 James" was a "street and house number."
Note that you must have the page and line number of the head of family from schedule 1 in order to find the corresponding address in schedule 2.
If need more detailed info/help, please provide the name of the head, census year, prov., district, ect. and a volunteer will assist you.
