There are only a few name lists created on the parish level for the census years 1801, 1811, 1821, 1831. The few surviving pre-1841 censuses generally contain only names of the head-of-household. Consult an archive in your county to determine what may be available or information on pre-1841 census records can be found in: | |||

The 1831 census was collated by the census office and the resulting Parish Register Abstracts form an important part of the published census material, because from it alone, the clergymen's manuscript returns have survived. The records are held at [http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/default.asp?source=ddmenu_search3&j=1 The National Archives of the UK] under 'Clergymen's returns of 1831' (HO71/1-HO71/124.) | |||
There is statistical data available for every parish in the pre-1841 censuses. Consult [[Online Historical Population Reports]] article for further details. | |||
