==Online Tutorials== | ==Statistical Data Gathered from the Census== | ||
There is statistical data available for every census year from 1801 to 1931 on [[Online Historical Population Reports | Histpop - the Online Historical Population Reports (OHPR)]] website. The statistical data records the number of houses, families, people, and other statistical data for every parish in England. It allows one to see the growth of parishes and regions from census year to census year. | |||
==Strategy== | |||
A well-indexed census is one of the '''easiest ways to locate where an ancestor lived''' and when they lived there. You can also use censuses to: | |||
*Follow the family over time | |||
*Determine family relationships | |||
*Find clues to other locations where the family lived | |||
