UK Census Collection

About this collection

We have indexes and images of UK censuses for England, Scotland, Wales, Channel Islands, and the Isle of Man, for every decade from 1841 through 1901. While the questions that were asked varied from year to year, you can find information like the names of other household members, ages, birthplaces, residence, occupation, and even details of specific relationships (apart from the 1841 census). Census records place your ancestor in a particular location at the time of the census. Knowing this allows you to branch out to nearby churches, cemeteries, and civil records that may include more detail.
