Census Records[edit | edit source]
For online access to the 1841 to 1911 London censuses, see the England Census article.
Earlier censuses, dated 1801 to 1831, survive for several London parishes.[1] Most are kept at the Guildhall Library.[2] Findmypast has digitised 'London, Westminster Marylebone Census 1821 & 1831.' Record survival is identified on individual London parish pages.
London Records at the Family History Library describes London census holdings, parish-by-parish, available at that facility. Click here to see a list of the census surname indexes for local places and parishes in this county.
Local Census Indexes
[edit | edit source]
The London Census Surname Index page describes local census indexes in the Family History Library collection.
