Does anybody know what date the 1901 census was taken. Looking for my G.Grandfather. He was born on 31st March 1901. Found 1 entry that says unregistered 6days. I understood that the census was taken on 31st March. Can anyone help me? Sarah. |

I think you are right Sarah - I wouldn't take it as gospel if it says 6 days, it could be transcription error- it might have been 6 hours!, some of the census entries have been proven to be years out! Regards Maxine |

Thanx Maxine. Sounds like GG.Grandmother squeezed a little harder just so he could be on census. Bless her. Sarah. |

Census dates were: 1841 June 6th, 1851 March 30th/31st, 1861 April 7/8th, 1871 April 2/3, 1881 April 3/4th, 1891 April 5/6. Info taken from the Manchester and Lancashire Family History Society Handbook. Sorry, didn't say the 1901 date but from the above you can't assume it was 31st March. Melanie. |

Nothing of any significance sorry. Have you tried looking on the PRO website for the 1901 Census? It might tell you on there, I haven't been on for a while. Melanie |

Sarah, The 1901 census was definately taken on the 31st March. Stuart Morgan put a list of dates on the Tips board on 2/7/03, don't know if it goes back that far for anyone to get a print off, but if not I have the dates if you want them. Cheers Stuart Kim |
