Hi All,

Does anyone know how or where we can view the censuses that predate 1841 ?

All best wishes for the New Year,
Pam :-D

Joy,
Does that link that you have provided give any information about the pre-1841 censuses as to where to find out more about them?
I can see that you have nudged it up for Pamela, also, but I ploughed through all the pages and saw much about 1911 and lots of nudges up but have probably missed out the relevant posting.
I sometimes wish that interim nudges up could be deleted so that only the relevant information was left - I lose the will to live if there are too many of them.
Sorry.

The pre-1841 censuses were essentially head counts.

I found a record for 1831 in some parish records. All it gave was number of households and totals for male and females.
