LOCAL HISTORIES: - See the Carleton County GenWeb site for Cemetery, Church and Marriage Records, as well as numerous other Carleton County items.
PARISHES: Carleton County was set off from York County in 1833 (some reports say in 1831), with two of the original parishes of York within its bounds. The rest of the county, plus the areas of Victoria and Madawaska Counties had been unassigned. 
NOTE: Carleton County separated from York about 1830-3.  I have seen several records which give different dates covering this range. See:
 http://webhome.idirect.com/~cpwalsh/nb/municipal/carletonbirth.htm  & http://webhome.idirect.com/~cpwalsh/nb/acts/1WmIVc50.htm  for details.
