What is Native B?

This discussion was created from comments split from: New Brunswick (Canada) 1861 census "Native".

My reference here is of a marriage certificate date in 1861, Dorchester, Westmorland, New Brunswick. "Race Canadian Native B" is my issue. Would this mean born in Canada? And what's with the "B"?

@Ron Boudreau, my guess without seeing the document is that "Native B" is short for "native born".
