What the Numbers Mean in the Censuses of
England, Wales, and the Channel Islands |
|
The census was taken by distributing forms to the public, which they
were instructed to fill out on the night of the official enumeration date.
These forms were then collected, and the information copied into enumerators'
books. The books are extant, but the forms from 1841-1901 were destroyed.
The images for 1911 at Ancestry.com are of the original forms, not the
enumerators' books.
In the 1841 census only, ages of those over the age of 15 were rounded off to the nearest 5 years. The 1921 census will not be released until 2022. |
