A full census has been taken in England and Wales every\nten years since 1841, apart from 1941.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The object of the census was not to\nobtain detailed information about individuals, but to provide information about\nthe population as a whole; listing everyone by name, wherever they happened to\nbe on a single night, was the most efficient way to count everybody once, and theoretically\nnobody twice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">In every census year heads of households were instructed to give details of everyone who slept in that dwelling on the census night. From 1841 to 1901 the information from the schedules was then copied into enumeration books. Once the enumeration books had been completed, most household schedules were destroyed, although some survived. It is the enumeration books that form the basis of the records we have today. If the enumerator got it wrong or had poor handwriting errors could creep in when the records were transcribed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The 1841 census was the first to list\nthe names of every individual, which makes it the earliest useful census for\nfamily historians. However, less information was collected in 1841 than in\nlater census years, for instance relationships were not recorded; ages of\nadults could be rounded and exact places of birth were not requested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">From 1851 the person&#8217;s relationship\nto the head of the household and marital status were gathered, as well as\nwhether they have a disability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The 1911 census is special, because\nyou can view the original household schedules. This means you can read your\nrelatives&#8217; details in their own handwriting and often see personal comments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The dates of censuses were as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>1841 \u2013 6 June<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1851 \u2013 30 March<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1861 \u2013 7 April<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1871 \u2013 2

you cannot find an ancestor because it is more common than you may realise for people to be missed off 19<sup>th<\/sup> and early 20<sup>th<\/sup> century censuses. In censuses taken from 1841 onwards, certain groups of people were simply not included. These included those not living in conventional households; members of the Royal Navy on board ship in 1841 and possibly 1851; all members of the Merchant Marine in 1841 and various sections of it thereafter; all fishermen at sea in 1841 and sections of this group thereafter; the crews of vessels engaged in inland navigation in 1841 and 1851; in theory all itinerants, travellers and night workers in 1841 and probably a considerable number of them in later years. Soldiers serving abroad were not included during the Victorian period.<br>In all probability some people and households that should have been included slipped through the census net. Some of these omissions might be due to clerical error as enumerators and householders made errors in recording or copying. This was especially true of the period prior to 1911 when census enumerators had to copy the householders&#8217; schedules into their enumeration books from which tabulations were done by the GRO in London. But in some areas of dense housing, &nbsp;it might have been difficult for enumerators to ensure that they had handed a household schedule to every family. In some cases, people on the margins of society may have been suspicious of all authority and avoided the enumerator if at all possible.<br>The degree of which errors and omissions occurred will probably never be known so we are obliged to take the figures in the census returns at face value. However, in certain places and with respect to certain groups of people it might be wise to view them with some caution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Source: Edward Higgs,&nbsp;<em>Making sense of the census.
