</span>The census is a count and description of the population. In an effort to determine the extent of its population for the purposes of taxation and representation, the English government took its first large-scale, statistical census enumeration in 1801 as a result of the ''Population Act ''of 1800. Pre-1841 census records offer limited information; however, they do put a person in time and place. Few have been published on the internet. | </span>The census is a count and description of the population.
