SCOTS IN THE 1869 CENSUS FOR CHASCOMUS

Down to Scots in 1869 and 1895 Censuses for Entre Rios

Union

The following table contains data on people of given or possible Scots origin, extracted from the 1869 Census for the town and rural district of Chascomus. The full transcription of 770 Scottish, English and Irish inhabitants was kindly provided by Maria Cruset. Readers wishing further information from the full transcript should contact the present writer  by e-mail.

By 1869 the attractive district of Chascomus, with its town, lakes, fertile lands and rail connections with Buenos Aires some seventy miles away, had become a popular area for British settlers. Among them were many Scots, some of them great landowners, others shepherds, farmers or labourers. These Scots had their Presbyterian chapel and a resident minister, the Rev. Martin Ferguson.

The census enumerators collected data on Surname, Name, Age, Sex, Civil State, Nationality, Birthplace for those born in Argentina, Occupation, Whether the person could read and/or write, school attendance and some miscellaneous information, e.g. orphaned children. Family relationships are not given. Since the original data were recorded by Spanish-speaking enumerators and some of those giving information could not write their names, there are some misspellings of surnames. However, most surnames are clear or easily interpreted.

As well as those who are recorded as Scottish, a number of others described as English have been included, principally on the grounds that English was often used to describe Britons, they have possible Scottish surnames and/or are known to be of Scots origin from other sources.

The present extract covers Surname, Name, Age, Sex, Civil State, Nationality Birthplace if Argentine, and Occupation. Entries for some categories have been abbreviated and occupations translated into English terms.

Scots in the 1895 Census for Chascomus

The following list is drawn from those individuals and families with British surnames in the 1895 census for Chascomus and contains those who are actually or probably Scots and their children born in Argentina. As with the 1869 census, there is the difficulty that some Scots may be described as English, so the listing has had to depend largely upon identifying those with typically Scottish surnames.

The list differs substantially from the 1869 census. It contains considerably fewer families and many of the earlier ones are absent, although there are still, for example, such names as McCargo, Sproat, Fair, Bell, Reid and McGaw/McGaull. The differences between the two censuses may be due to movement of families from or into the department of Chascomus, absence at the time of the census or shortcomings in the census itself. Nevertheless, the 1895 list is particularly useful as a record of many children born in Argentina, taking families of Scottish descent well into the 20th century.

             Scots in the 1869 and 1895 Censuses for the Province of Entre Rios.

Lying between the Rivers Parana and Uruguay, the province of Entre Rios attracted many British settlers in the 19th Century. The following census data for various departments of the province are a rich source of information on Scots and English settlers, giving among other things, comparisons between settlement in 1869 and 1895, the origins of settlers and their families, ages, places, occupations and relationships. The data, therefore, are of genealogical and demographic value. I am most grateful to Luis Stuart-Pennington for carrying out the major task of transcribing the records.

             Scots in the 1869 and 1895 Censuses for Concordia and Federacion, Entre Rios.

The following census table has been extracted from the 1869 Census for persons of British descent in the districts of Concordia and Federacion in the province of Entre Rios. I would wish to thank Mr. Luis Stuart-Pennington for the data and for helpful notes on the interpretation of spellings as they were recorded by the Spanish-speaking enumerator. Whilst most spellings of surnames are straightforward, some are less so, such as “Maquinlen” for McKinlay, “Maclo” for Macleod, “Freize “ for Fraser, “Maclar” for MacLaren, “Cincler” for Sinclair, and “McNil”, “Mannil” and “Menil” for McNeill. Some names presently defy interpretation. Names are grouped by households and most wives appear to have followed the Scottish practice of using maiden surnames. Among the entries are many children and young persons, some born in Scotland and others in Argentina, and so giving useful information on arrival of parents in Argentina. Also, it should be noted that the entries may not represent all the Scots in the full census; while some give Scotland as the place of birth, others use the common practice of describing themselves as from “Inglaterra. or Ingles”, so they are difficult to distinguish from those who are actually English.

Abbreviations:  V (Varon) = Male, M(Mujer) = Female, C(Casado) = Married, S(Soltero/a) = Unmarried, V (Viudo/a) in Civil State = Widower or Widow, E.R. = Entre Rios, B.A. = Buenos Aires, Scot. = Scotland, I = Inglaterra or Ingles. 

Occupations: Jornalero/a = Labourer, Estanciero/a = Landowner, Hacendado = Landowner, Criador = Stock breeder, Pastor = Shepherd, Agricultor = Farmer, Comercio = Merchant.

This census information can be usefully related to the account of Nueva Escocia given on the page on “Scots Colonists” on the website.

Scots in the 1895 Census for Concordia and Federacion, Entre Rios.

Firstly, I wish to thank Luis Stuart-Pennington for transcribing the following data from the census books held in the Archivo General de la Nacion in Buenos Aires. The general explanation of the census categories is given under the earlier account for the 1869 census. However, there are more occupations given in this census and these are translated below. With the exceptions of those of British descent born in Argentina and in the Banda Oriental (Uruguay), persons are often described as “Inglaterra”, whether Scots or English, although “Scotland” does occur. Since surnames are an imprecise guide, both nationalities are listed.

Among those listed are early Scottish settlers who originally farmed at Nueva Escocia, Yarua, Department of Concordia but later moved to places in the Department of Federacion, where descendants still live.  The ages and nationalities of settlers show individuals and families arriving from the 1850/60’s onwards.

Among the occupations mentioned are:  Alambrador = Wire Fencer; Aprendiz = Apprentice; Caldarero = Boilermaker; Cocinera = Cook; Carnicero = Butcher; Cochero = Driver; Corredor = Agent; Costurera = Dressmaker; Dependiente = Shop Assistant; Enfermera = Nurse;  Ingeniero = Engineer; Lavandera = Laundress; Maestra = Teacher; Maquinista = Engine Driver or Mechanic; Modista = Dress Designer/Maker; Ninera = Nanny; Operaria = Worker; Peon = Labourer; Rentistas/Rentas = Persons of Independent Means; Carpintero = Carpenter; Puestero = Person tending livestock on a section of an estancia; 

Abbreviations for Nationality: Arg E.R. = Entre Rios;  Arg Bs.As. = Buenos Aires; B.Ori = Banda Oriental (Uruguay); Arg S.Fe = Santa Fe; I = England; Scot = Scotland.
