Census 1852 others

Other Schneiders in the 1852 Census

There were lots more Schneiders in Vaudreuil, Two Mountain, and Montreal. As mentioned earlier, there is no index to the 1852 census, so the only way to find all the Schneiders would be to search all of the forms.

Below are parts of the census forms where a Schneider was found. It was common at the time for more than one family to live together in one house, along with servants and other hired help. So the extracts include all the people who were identified as living in the house with a Schneider.

The Household of Julie Schneider

District 34 Vaudreuil

Sub-district 534 St. Michel Parish

Page 29A, 29B, 29C.

Summary of Page 29

From the data on page 29 and the proceeding page, it would seem that the individuals on this page worked at the Ottawa Glass Works factory. F. X. Desjardins also appears on this page. He was an original investor in the company, and leased some of his land to the company for the factory. Judging from the data, it seems that the company provided housing for their workers (See a picture of the Ottawa Glass Works at this Quebec Heritage Web page.)

The website Automated Genealogy transcribed the occupation of some on this page as "conpendiste". A better transcription would be "coupeur de vitre", which translates as "glass cutter". A factory that made window panes would surely employ glass cutters.

Julie Schneider, a glass cutter, lived in one of the houses with 3 other people. Column 33 records that there were 2 families in the house, though who belonged to which family is not obvious from the data. Julie is not found in the data compiled by Roderick Clarke, nor the names that we have collected. So her relation to the family is at present unknown.

The name Candlish appears on page 29. Candlish has an interesting connection to the manufacture of glass. John Candlish owned the largest glass bottle manufacturing company in Europe in the mid 1800's. It's not known if the Candlishs who worked at the Ottawa Glass works were related to John. It is probably just a fluke, but and interesting one.

The Household of Atkinson Schneider

District 34 Vaudreuil

Sub-district 534 St. Michel Parish

Page 31A, 31B, 31C.

Summary of Page 31

Atkinson Schneider was the nephew of our ancestor Charles. Roderick Clarke gives his full name as Frederick Nelson Atkinson Schneider.

Atkinson and his family lived with two other families in a one story log house. Liza Delesderniers may have been a cousin of Atkinson (his mother was a Delesderniers).

The Household of C. M. Schneider

District 33 Two Mountains

Sub-district 526 St. Andrew's

Page 20A, 20B, 20C.

Summary of Page 20

Numbers 39 to 46 lived together in a one story frame house. The census identified them all as family members. Mr. Montmarquet was a well known dry goods store owner in Carillon.

Who C. M. and F. R. Schneider were, and how they fit into our family, is not clear. However C. M. might really be C. W. Schneider, the son of Charles and Marie Josette - the age is about right. Other sources have a C. W. Schneider in Carillon. A list of post offices in 1861 names C. W. Schneider as the postmster of Carillon. The journals of Legislative Assembly of Canada for 1859 show that C. W. Schneider was paid for postal services in Carillon. "The Canadian Almanac and Directory 1861 -1862" lists a C. W. Schneider in Carillon. In the book, "History of the Counties of Argenteuil, Que. and Prescott, Ont.", by Cyrus Thomas, the author says that "A. E. MONTMARQUET sold his store and other property in Carillon to Mr. Schneider, and left the place in 1860." (Note: Montmarquet is sometimes spelled Montmarquette.)

Yet page 30 of the census for Vaudreuil has a C. W. Schneider living there. Obviously the same C. W. Schneider can not live in two places at one time. So the relationship of the Schneiders of Two Mountains to our family is a mystery awaiting more research.

Numbers 47 to 50 lived together in a one story frame house. The census says that they were 2 families living in the house. There was also a store on this property, surely Montmarquet's. It is not clear whether the house and the store were one building.

The Household of M. Schneider

District 37: Montreal

Sub-district 557: Montreal A - St. Louis

Page 49A, 49B

Summary of Page 49

This census form is different than the one used in Vaudreuil and Two Mountains. Numbers 1 to 6 lived together. Line 7 was a woman who had died during the year at age 68.

We know that our ancestors Marie Josette Kingsbury and Charles Schneider had a daughter named Elenora or Elnora who may have been called Lora or Laura, who married Henri Lantheire. She was born in 1819, which would have made her 32 or 33 at the time of the census. If the person on line 5 had not said her place of birth was Montreal, we might conclude that she was Marie Josette and Charles' daughter Elenora.

Who M. Schneider was, and how he fits into our family is not known.
