Here are some findings from the 1837 census of New Town, Australia. The gender is not listed with the names. I included only the first names. Variant spellings have been combined under the most prevalent spelling except for Ann and Anne, which have been separated due to large numbers of both spellings. Names that are not clear have been excluded. Not every name has been tallied. I have only tallied the names of about half of the census. The number indicates the prevalence: ex, "Mary 15" indicates the name Mary was found 15 times in the first half of the census. Names without a number next to them only occurred once in the first half of the census.
