Event: Census

 

Event: Census Reports:    and 
Census records are notorious for errors and the erroneous information occurs for various reasons--but in addition to the normal problems--the 1841 British Census, in particular, estimated the adult ages to within 5 years making it hard to find precise dates of birth for individuals.

Note: Keep in mind that relationships in a census record are all connected to the HEAD OF THE HOUSEHOLD. This can get a little tricky. For example: Ann, 65, unmarried, head of household. She is with Robert, brother (to head of household), 63, widower; and Hannah, 30, unmarried, and is listed as niece. She is probably Robert's daughter, but her relationship to the "head of household" (Ann) is niece.      

I will add the records as I find them to the database. I have a great deal more work to do on the census records.
British Census Dates: all on uneven years: June 6, 1841; March 30, 1851; April 7, 1861; April 2, 1871; April 3, 1881; April 5, 1891
American Census Dates: all on even years.

Beware of Indexes!
Most of the following census records are now available on the Internet. 
Whenever possible,
view the original.
Transcribers can make errors too with misspelled names, errors in dates, places, etc. 
(One example of many: one place was clearly--to me--Ormskirk but was listed on the index as Dunkirk.)
