England and Wales, Census, 1841
What is in This Collection?
This collection contains population schedules for England, Wales, Isle of Man and Channel Islands as of 7 June 1841. Census schedules are arranged by county and then divided by civil parish, each district being an area that could be enumerated in a day.
The information gathered by the census taker is only as reliable as the person who provided the information. While some information may not be completely accurate, it can still provide important clues in locating an ancestor.
For reference purposes, the National Archives assigned a piece number to each enumeration district and stamped a folio number in the upper right corner of each right-side page. The number refers to entries on both sides of the page.
Additional records and/or images may be added to this collection in the future.
