According to the National Archives of Canada website at www.archives.ca/02/02020205_e.html,
the official enumeration date used for this census was 14-Jan-1861.
Welland County, Ontario
The 1871 census for Welland County is on
FHL microfilm # 349329 and 349330.
I searched the records for Catholic families from the records of St. Joseph's
Catholic Church in Snyder, and also for the name SNIDER of any religion. I looked
only at these townships: Bertie, Crowland, Humberstone, Stamford, and Willoughby.
