NL GenWebEarly Newfoundland InhabitantsNewfoundland Census - 1675, 1682 & 1708Early Newfoundland census. Transcribed and contributed by David Anstey, March 2017. While I have endeavored to be as correct as humanly possible, there may be errors.Corrected or updated by transcriber since original posting
The text presented in this file merges information realized over years, from plural sources. Concentrating only on the inhabitants in three distinct Census’. There were other early Newfoundland Census taken, but not included here. This text is likely to contain 17th and 18th century phonetic spelling errors, and other typographical errors as sometimes lifted from typed sources, as opposed to originals. Given that the plural “official” early Newfoundland Census’ listings often contain individual name spellings which are variant from the “old country” Parochial Register entries, one is cognizant that “any” early Census listing file can then not be considered absolutely correct. And thus any personal name corrections propounded, will be gratefully acknowledged, in what must be a file attaining to be improved upon. Some names within this file can be matched with their “old country” origins. Suggestive possibilities of “old country” origins for enumerated inhabitants, are in italic type, within this file. Along with a note or two. Will time permit matching of more resident names to their old country Parochial, or extra Parochial origins? *The Early Newfoundland Census’ enumerated “overwintering” inhabitants. * The term “Mistress” is utilized in the early Newfoundland Census’. Befitting the reality of the worksite preserve, early Newfoundland actually was. *Mistress representing the early English female version of Master. * Bride and Groom = Mr. and Mrs. = Master and Mistress. Old definition of Wife = Mistress. *1670 at Southampton, Hampshire, England. Mistris/Mistress Andrews buried. * Traditional usage of the terms master and mistress of the household, lasted in the regions of small farms in Wales, well into the 1900’s. *Servants & Students in the early Newfoundland Census’/English Crown’s Fishery, required Masters and Mistresses as per English homeland tradition. *In a November 29th, 1777, Harbour Grace letter to the SPG; the Rev. James Balfour, enumerated Masters, Mistresses, Men-servants, Women-servants, and Children. *Early Newfoundland was officially interpreted by the English/British governments, as a livier’s [ lives here ] “work site” temporary. As opposed to a “habitant home” permanent. Newfoundland was not an English Colony proper to be settled, until the early 1800’s. The claimed territorial worksite preserve belonged to, and was under the administration of; the English Crown. And the Crown resisted settlement which may have lead to Independence, as occurred in the southern American colonies. The early Newfoundland Fishery was simply too valuable to lose. Far more valuable to England/Britian, than the gold of Mexico was to the Spaniards. Thus settlement was officially discouraged. One could participate in the English/British Crown’s Newfoundland Fishery, only at the pleasure of the Crown. Husbands, wives and children, were not officially considered permanently resident, per the letter of English Law. The early Newfoundland inhabitant fisherpersons were officially viewed in England, as temporary liviers/liveyeres, who would eventually return home. This reasoning was touted to the French ambassador when he officially called at the English Court. Bringing complaints of the “obviously permanent” Newfoundland Settlers, who were interfering with the French Fishery at Newfoundland. Evidencing the official anti-settlement policy of the English/British Crown, towards early Newfoundland. Reality reveals that even in the face of such governing adversity, combined with the earlier foreign Dutch, and later French threats; British citizens did settle permanently in early Newfoundland. Having little protection from the British government. As the early Newfoundland Census’ combined with other data may reveal, the French threat sometimes dispersed the early permanent resident population. Forced or effected local migrations occurred. A nominal early Newfoundland “inhabitant” listing, with minor annotation. *Otherwise early Census listings exist in the Colonial Office Fonds, such as Fishing Ships Census, Bye boat keepers Census, Running Galleys Census, 1676 & 1677 inhabitants Census, etc. *Original 1675 Census from CO 1/35. Pages 150 - 156. *Original 1682 Census from CO 1/49. Pages 196 - 197. *Original 1708 Census from CO 194/4. Pages 253 – 272. * Notes for 1708 |

Or even a English/British surname. The info being typed, the transcription wrong. Variations of Coppyduck_Coppydock_Coppedock_Coppidoake appear in reality at Christchurch. In Newfoundland, eventually became Coveyduck? Plantation # 505. Ship Cove, Port de Grave. John Coveyduck claimed a portion of Matthew Anthony's Room in 1760, by marriage to Matthew's daughter. *In the early Newfoundland Census’, one might consider that folk settling at Bay de Verde and northwards; largely sailed out of the sailing port of Poole, Dorset. And relationships may be expected anywhere within this geography, between the coastal communities, and earlier English ancestral communities; like Poole, Christchurch, and Ringwood. |

*Cattle and hogs raised in Ireland, were commodities exempted from requirements of the English Navigation Acts, and could be taken directly from Ireland to Newfoundland, without interference of English customs and duties. Resulting in victualing cost reduction and time savings, for those English merchants voyaging to Newfoundland, who choose Ireland as a supply port, for goods and labor. The Navigation Acts espoused English trade in English vessels only, as opposed to English trade in foreign vessels. English merchants trading and sacking, to and from Newfoundland, enjoyed cost savings, by regularly victualing at Irish port towns, like Waterford and Cork. It is interesting that Butler merchants of Waterford, and Butler merchants of New Ross, traded at Bristol, Gloucestershire; from at least the 15th Century. However the Le Boutillier_Snow relations Channel Islands to Conception Bay, may take the driver’s seat? Did Stephen Atkins look after Irish or Channel Island cattle? |
