1901 census
The 1901 census for England and Wales was taken on the night of Sunday the 31st March.
The total population was declared to be 32,527,843.

In January 1901 the reign of Queen Victoria ended when she passed away in Osborne House, her home on the Isle of Wight. You can find the Queen Mother, who was just a baby, when the census was taken. Look for Elizabeth Bowes Lyon.
