Census Dates

There are two links provided for each Census Return:-

1:- A Standard web page version.

2:- A ZIP compressed version of the standard web page. This will give a much shorter download time.

Although the Census Returns are listed by County, the Primary listing is by Piece and Folio.

Notes:- Census Registration Districts do not coincide exactly with county boundaries.

Registration Districts may contain places in other counties, and may omit border places in the county.

Registration Districts are a PRO classification that applies to Census records and Birth, Marriage and Death registrations.

Census are referenced not by book and page number but by Piece and Folio, i.e 2422/25, or more accurately, RG9 2422/25. The RG9 identifying it is as the 1861 census.

A Census Piece is a collection of many individual enumerators' books for a district. A Census Folio is a sheet within one of those books. A folio is the front and back of a sheet i.e. two pages.

To find the Piece Number that covers a specific location, the PRO online catalogue (Links) can be used.

Note:- The documents reproduced in ZIP format will require a ZIP file reader.
