| This is a new version of the previous quiz I made. I was unhappy with that one, which just used Wikipedia and didn't go back as far, so I found the original census publications and made a better one. The main sources are: Robert Gourlay, Statistical Account of Upper Canada (1822); Tables of the Revenue, Population, Commerce, etc of the United Kingdom and its Dependencies, Supplement to Part VIII: Colonies, 1837-1839 (London, 1840); Census of the Canadas, 1851-2, Vol. I (1853); Census of the Canadas, 1860-61, Vol. I (1863); Statistics of Canada, vol. 4 - Censuses of Canada 1665-1871 (Ottawa, 1876); Canada Year Book 1885; Robert Martin, Statistics of the Colonies of the British Empire (London, 1889); Canada Year Book 1915; Canada Year Book 1967; Frederick H. Armstrong, Handbook of Upper Canadian Chronology (London, ON, 1967), and the most recent 2011 census results. Wherever possible I have used the populations for actual towns/cities, not counties, districts, census metropolitcan areas, etc. For the 1820s, there just aren't many census results for individual cities, so that one might be missing some places in Lower Canada. For the 1690s and 1760s, I have tried to give as many alternate answers as possible, since some of those places no longer exist or are part of a bigger city now. I hope the early ones are not too impossible! |
