Both tables based on Appendix I in John
Fitzgerald, "The Confederation of Newfoundland with Canada,
1946-1949." M.A. thesis, Memorial University of Newfoundland, 1992, pp. 314-18.
In turn, Appendix I reproduced the unpublished compilations of the Most Rev.
Raymond J. Lahey. Lahey based his tables on the Reports of the Chief Returning
Officer for both referenda, data obtained from the referenda results, and the
1945 Newfoundland census.
