002042: 1851 Census
1851
An 1851 Canadian census shows the family of Peter Joseph "Joseph" Voisin [I00688] and Catherine (Meyer) Voisin [I00689]. This census was actually conducted in 1852. The family is listed as "Wisong," likely due to the pronunciation of "Voisin." They lived in a 1-1/2 story log home that was weatherboarded.
The listing includes Magdalina Voisin, age 11, who resided in Buffalo, New York. She was perhaps a relative visiting from Buffalo.
