		Transcriber's notes on the census
 
It looks as if fishing boat capacity was measured in quintals, not in tons. The writing is definitely qtls.
There are problems with the number of members of religious denominations exceeding the number of inhabitants (i.e. at Indian Burying Place).
The following notes are based on checking the census transcription against the entries for the various communities in the Encyclopedia of Newfoundland and Labrador (ENL), and surname entries in Family Names of the Island of Newfoundland by E. R. Seary (FN).  They are supplemented, in the section on Fortune Harbour, by notes from John Carrick Greene`s Of Fish and Family. These extracts illustrate the difficulties created by surname variations.  Thanks are due to Dave Anstey and Jill Marshall for their transcriptions, which were helpful in deciphering some of the trickier entries.

		
INDIAN BURYING PLACE
 

FN
 

Family Names notes that "Adams and Palmer"  were " in salmon fishery at Indian Burying Place"  in 1804. It also mentions " James Prole or Proal, of Indian Burying Place,"  but does not mention William Prole. It records a Thomas Stoodley there in 1842, and confirms that there was a James White at Indian Burying Place in 1844. 

 
ENL
 

"As late as the 1857 Census, four residents gave their place of birth as England.  James Prole was the first known settler."  The Encyclopedia mentions that by the time of the 1874 Census, " Family names ...were Adams, Bowers, Giles, Prole, Stoodley and White."
