SCOTS IN THE 1869 CENSUS FOR CHASCOMUS
Down to Scots in 1869 and 1895 Censuses for Entre Rios
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 1850/60s 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.
