The treasure today is the 1891 Canada Census record for my 3rd great-grandparents, Alexander and Elizabeth (Putman) Sovereen in Windham township, Norfolk County, Ontario:
The Alexander Sovereen family entry:
The extraction of the information for this family, residing in Windham township, Norfolk county, Ontario, is:
* Alexander Sovereen - male, age 76, married, born Ontario, father born United States, mother born Nova Scotia, Baptist religion, occupation farmer, 1 employee, can read and write
* Elisabeth Sovereen - female, age 72, married, wife, born in United States, father born United States, mother born United States, Baptist religion, can read and write
* Wilber Sovereen - male, age 23, married, son, born in Ontario, father born in Ontario, mother born Ontario, Baptist religion, can read and write
* Fannie Sovereen - female, age 20, married, L (in-law?), born in Ontario, father born Ontario, mother born Ontario, C.E. religion, can read and write
The source citation for this record is:
Census of Canada, 1891, Norfolk County, Ontario, Schedule No. 1, District 96, North Norfolk, Subdistrict Township of Windham, Division No. 4, Page 9, Family #44, Alexander Sovereen household; digital image, Library and Archives Canada (http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/census-1891/index-e.html : accessed 10 March 2013).
The significant error in these records is the name of the son, it should be Wilbert (perhaps they called him "Wilber." There are several small differences in ages in these records relative to other records, and the birthplace of Wilbert's mother should be United States. Wilbert had married in November 1890 to Fannie Dalton and they resided with his parents in this census.
