Census Records (1841 – 1901)

Census records are one of the most useful sources for anyone starting to research their family history. If you find your ancestors listed there you can discover a great deal of information about everyone in the household at that time. Including their:

• Full name
• Relationship to the head of the household (except 1841)
• exact age (except 1841 where ages over 15 are given to the nearest 5 years)
• marital status
• occupation
• place of birth (except 1841)
