I think there is not much data on the older census (1981 and before) available in editable form. However census website has an old census page I had downloaded some PDF file from there. I have a pdf file named 26745_1981_PCA which is 782pages and 13 MB These are two screenshots from that file [image: 1981_1.png] I will try to see If I can locate a link. Or else I will share the file over Google Drive.
