[[Image:Rhoose Point in Wales.jpg|thumb|right|380x285px]]The 1841 census was taken on 7 June. Most of the later censuses were taken between 31 March and 8 April, every 10 years. Instructions were to list only those persons who spent the night in each household when the census was taken. Those travelling, staying at boarding schools, or working away from home are listed where they spent the night. For example, night watchmen are often listed at their employer’s business address rather than with their families. | [[Image:Rhoose Point in Wales.jpg|thumb|right|380x285px|Rhoose Point in Wales.jpg]]The 1841 census was taken on 7 June.

A Census for 1939. As a result of the National Registration Act in 1939, the civilian population was recorded. Each person was listed with data similar to the Census and assigned a number. Data can now be researched for deceased individuals (must be proven dead) for a non-refundable fee of 42 pounds sterling even if the search is unsuccessful.
