    Census records were collected according to a national program and were taken in the same manner throughout Scotland. The records were subsequently preserved centrally and survive as a robust record of the nineteenth century from 1841 to 1901.


    This census was collected and organized around enumeration districts and sub-districts. Enumeration districts correspond to parishes -- with some exceptions. The place of residence is often broken down into the name of street, house name or number, county, and parish.
