1851 England Census

About 1851 England Census The 1851 Census for England was taken on the night of 30 March 1851. The following information was requested:

Name of street, place, road, etc. House number or name Name of each person that had spent the night in that household Relationship of person enumerated to the head of the family Person's marital status Age at last birthday (sex is indicated by which column the age is recorded in) Person's rank, profession, or occupation Person's place of birth (if outside of England or Wales, only the country may be given) Whether blind, deaf, or idiot Enumeration forms were distributed to all households a couple of days before census night and the complete forms were collected the next day. All responses were to reflect the individual's status as of 30 March 1851 for all individuals who had spent the night in the house. People who were traveling or living abroad were enumerated at the location where they spent the night on census night. All of the details from the individual forms were later sorted and copied into enumerators' books, which are the records we can view images of today. The original householders schedules from 1841 to 1901 were destroyed.
