Making Use of the Census

SUPPLIES ARE LIMITED

Newly revised to include the 1901 census, this fourth edition of Making Use of the Census continues to offer authoritative guidance to one of our most important genealogical and historical resources. Coverage includes:

1. How the census was taken and subsequently preserved
2. Where to locate the information today, and the various formats available including online access
3. The process of using the census at the Family Records Centre (FRC), from finding aid to document reference to microfilm
4. Understanding and interpreting the returns
5. A list of registration districts and their numbers, 1841-1901
6. A list of street indexes available, 1841-1901

Highly illustrated throughout, this book offers fascinating glimpses into the work of the census enumerators and the Victorian society they were commissioned to survey.  It will be invaluable to all family history researchers as well as social and economic historians; indeed anyone seeking to tap this extraordinary national survey, whether at the FRC, TNA or their local record office.
