After reading The Eastman column I found that Ancestry is not offering this
for free, but, Dick's letter gave the Archives of Canada site to look at.
The only problem being there is no surname index. So I went to Ancestry and
did a search (free but to look at the entry you have to subscribe)
FROM ANCESTRY:
Name: Thomas Parent
Gender: Male
Age: 21
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1831
Birthplace: Canada
Born of Canadian Parents: Yes

District: Rimouski County
District Number: 24
Sub-District: Rimouski
Sub-District Number: 329
Page: 69
Line: 28
Roll: C_1135
Schedule: A
Next I went to:
http://www.collectionscanada.ca/archivianet/1851/001005-100.01-e.html
Census of 1851
Basic Search

Geographic Location/Rimouski
>From the list I chose:

I looked through all the entries for Page 69 but this person was not listed.
Has anyone else tried this with success?
