Because regular Tanzimat administration had yet to be established in the Hijaz and surrounding areas, Yemen may not have been included in empire-wide censuses (conducted primarily for administrative and military purposes, focusing on male inhabitants). During the [[England Genealogy|British]] occupation of southern Yemen (1839-1967), more systematic records were kept, including detailed [https://bll01.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Yemen&tab=LibraryCatalog&search_scope=Not_BL_Suppress&vid=44BL_INST:BLL01&lang=en&offset=0 administrative files].
