| Summary: | This collection contains a small portion of the 1911 and 1921 nominal census for Newfoundland and Labrador. The 1911 Census contains the enumeration for St. John's East and part of Bonavista Bay, mainly Greenspond and area. The 1911 census lists individuals by name, age, nationality, religion and occupation. The 1921 Census contains only two booklets both from the Greenspond area. The 1921 Census lists individuals by name, age and religion only. There are very few nominal census in existence before 1921, the year in which the government of Newfoundland began retaining its nominal census booklets. The 1921, 1935 and 1945 nominal census are available on microfilm at the Centre for Newfoundland Studies and the Provincial Archives of Newfoundland and Labrador. These are the last three census returns before Newfoundland became part of Canada.
