A census is a count and description of the population. The foundation of nineteenth century research relies on census records. It tells you where they are, where they were born, approximate year of birth, and what occupation they were engaged in. It puts families together in time and place. It leads you to the parish where they were born. It can provide a good approximation to date and place of deaths and marriages. The first census available is 1841 and every ten years thereafter. The 1911 census is the most recent one to be released to the public.<br> | A census is a count and description of the population.
