1841 census
There was a census taken every ten years between 1801 and 1831, although only a few parts of them remain. These were only a head count and no personal information was actually recorded. It was only in 1841 that personal information was included in the census. The 1841 census was taken on Sunday the 6th June 1841 and the total population was recorded as 15,914,000.
Show moreIn the 1841 census ages were rounded down so anyone aged between 15 and 19 would be recorded as 15, 20 – 24 were recorded as 20, 25 – 29 were recorded as 25 and so on. Please bear this in mind when the year of birth for a match with your relative doesn’t quite match up with the age you thought they were.
