Censuses There are some isolated surviving earlier censuses for a few places in earlier years of the 1800s, (from 1801), but the first major national census of use to family historians was carried out in 1841. Subsequent censuses were taken every ten years, 1851, 1861 etc. (with the exception of 1941 during World War 2, when no census was taken). Access to censuses is restricted under a 100 year rule. Therefore, the latest census that can be viewed by the public is the one for 1901 |
