Census Info
The first official census of England and Wales took place on 10 March
1801.Censuses have been taken every 10 years since with the exception of 1941.
Details of individuals only appeared on a compulsory basis for the first time in
the 1841 Census but a Sussex researcher was able to provide me with names and
ages of individuals from the 1821 Census so do not assume the early years are
not worthy of investigation. Because of the
so-called 'One Hundred Year
Rule', the census returns available for the genealogist are only those up to and
including 1891. A direct descendant of an individual appearing in the 1901
Census may apply to the ONS for a copy of the appropriate return but must
provide a precise address for the individual(s) being sought.
Application
must be made on a form available at FRC and any information
supplied will relate only to
the relative(s) listed on the form. The cost
including airmail is currently #16.75 (VATfree) for researchers based outside
the UK. The 1841 census was undertaken on 7 June, 1851 (30 March), 1861 (7
April), 1871 (2 April), 1881 (3 April), 1891 (5 April) and 1901 (31 March.) The
census returns were for all the population as at midnight on those dates. (See
Scotland and Ireland for census returns in those countries.)
The censuses
of 1841 to 1891 are wonderful pools of research. 1851 to 1891 give more
information than the 1841 census but all enable the historian to identify a
family at a particular point in time. The addresses pinpoint a family to a
particular location although the relationships, ages and occupations may not be
precise. (An in-law in the 19th century meant something different to what it
means today. A son-in-law could mean stepson of the householder, ie son of the
householder's wife andtherefore a son in the eye of the law.) The 1851 to 1891
Censuses provide pointers to an ancestor's parish of birth since there is a
'Where Born' column. The Industrial Revolution resulted in the migration of many
people from the countryside to the major cities during the first half
of the
19th century. By the time of the 1881 Census the population of London was 3.8
million and living within its bounds were more Scots than in Edinburgh, more
Irish than in Dublin and more Roman Catholics than in Rome. The censuses of 1841
through 1891 are available on microfilm at the FRC (having moved there when the
PRO closed its Chancery Lane building).
The only census to have been fully indexed is the 1881 which we can now access on CD Rom-
Others have been partly indexed- mainly by Family History Societies etc. The 1891 can give problems especially in large cities where an address would be of great assistance. It would not be reasonable to request a look up for a relative e.g. on the 1891 census in say Oldham Lancs- this could take months to trace.
Please note: Altho not all of these URLS are highlighted as links, I find that double clicking will generally open the page, with just a few exceptions, also, that I have attempted to list by country where possible.
