Hello,
I need to search the census records (1901 & 1911) for the all names recorded at specific places. How do I determine which of the old electoral ridings refers to a specific place. For example "Yale-Caribou" in the 1901 census appears to have covered most of the Southern Interior of BC - how do I find the page(s) which refer to the village of New Denver ? or Three Forks ? etc.
Thanks,
Dan

Dan,

Before searching for a specific village/town in the 1901 or 1911 census, one must first know when that village/town was founded.
Also looking at the description of a town (i.e. the town web site) will give you some clues where to look.

For example New Denver is described as:
New Denver (population: 560) today sits quietly on the shore of Slocan Lake in the Slocan Valley, location of the 1890s silver mining boom.

Therefore that area is in the Slocan riding of the Kootenay district in the 1911 census and in the Kootenay West - Slocan (Riding/Division) of the Yale & Caribou in the 1901 census but the name "New Denver" may not yet exist.

Hope this help,
