The records were released on 5 April 2011 following the end of their 100 year closure period. There were new questions relating to fertility of marriage: on duration of marriage; the number of living children born to each marriage; and the number alive at the time of the census. There were changes to several others: categories for people with disabilities were revised and the introductory section to the third report on the 1911 census refers to the intended use of the terms as: lunatic - in cases where the infirmity had been acquired during life imbecile - in extreme cases where the infirmity had existed from birth or an early age feeble-minded - in milder cases where the infirmity had existed from birth or an early age.

      Dundee Courier - Tuesday 02 June 1891
      SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT MINERS DEMONSTRATION
      A RUNAWAY HORSE DASHES INTO A CROWD.
      TWENTY PERSONS INJURED.

      The pleasure attending the miners' demonstration in Dundee yesterday was seriously marred by a very serious accident on the Magdalen Green, which resulted in the serious injury of about twenty persons, amongst whom were a number of bandsmen engaged playing to the excursionists. It appeared that about four o'clock in the afternoon the combined Cluny and Dunnikier Instrumental Bands were marching along Magdalen Yard Road from the town to relieve some of the other bands that were playing to the dancers on the Green. The marching bands were followed by an immense crowd, and the Green and the road were crowded by thousands of pleasure seekers, excursionists, and town's people, who had been attracted there to enjoy the music and the dancing. The marching bands playing a lively air had just reached th junction of Thomson Street, when a horse yoked in an empty lorry, the property of Messrs P. Cameron, railway contractors, and driven by John Allan, carter, Union Street, was coming down that thoroughfare. The animal, on turning down from Perth Road, took fright at the music of a flute band and dashed down the steep street at a furious pace. Allan, who was in the act of jumping on to the lorry when it bolted, was unable to stop his horse, and on arriving at the foot of Thomson Street it dashed right across Magdalen Yard Road through the crowd, and swep down the two front files of the band. Dashin on in its mad career, the horse rushed along the west side of the road leading to the Esplanade station, scattering the crowd in all directions. On reaching the south end of the large grass plot on which the Russian guns are placed, the horse wheeled round to the east, and, describing a circle, rounded the embankment and gained the Magdalen Yard Road, then turned west, and taking the east. side of the station road rushed along it to within a few yards of the Bridge, when its progress was stopped by some men in the crowd, who gallantly rushed forward and seized it by the bridle. The scene that ensued baffled description. The road was strewn with injured, and men and women and children panic-stricken were flying in all directions, while the maddened horse, dragging the heavy vehicle behind it, was circling round the spot at headlong speed. It is said that in its course round the circle one of the injured was run over a second time. The point of one of the shafts of the lorry caught a large brass instrument, which one of the bandsmen named Norval was playing, and carried it round the course, dangling and jingling, and adding, no doubt, to the terror which the animal felt. Immediate attention was given to the injured, many of whom, it was evident, had sustained very serious injuries. Mr Jas. Cooper, manager, 216 Perth Road. rendered very active assistance. He observed Dr J. W. Miller in his carriage coming down Thomson Street on the way to visit a patient, and informed him of the accident. The Doctor promptly hurried to the spot, and rendered every assistance in his power to alleviate the sufferings of the unfortunate boys and men. The most serious cases were taken to the waitingroom at the Esplanade Station. Dr Templeman, who was summoned, was also speedily in attendance, and assisted Dr Miller. Dr Peter Campbell, who chanced to arrive with the train from Newport, on being informed of the accident hastened to attend to the cases in the station. The largest number of injured were bandsmen belonging to Kirkcaldy and district, and were all young men from eighteen to twenty-four or twenty-five years of age. A lad named Hugh MacNicoll, fourteen years of age. residing in Blackness Road, and a boy, five year of age, named James Bowman, son of Charles Bowman, tenter, Lawrence Street, have both sustamed serious injuries. Many others in the crowd were slightly injured. Six of the bandsmen were removed to the Infirmary, two being conveyed in the ambulance van, while the others were removed in cabs. Eight altogether were taken to the Infirmary, but a large number of others who were injured were able to be removed home, several of the less seriously injured returning with the excursion trains to their homes in Fife in the evening. The accident brought the dancing to an abrupt termination. After the excitement had somewhat subsided several of the other bands marched off the ground, playing lively airs. and followed by vast crowds, many of whom seemed little affected by the accident. The following is a list of the injuries :-
      IN THE INFIRMARY.
      Hugh MacNicoll (14), 80 Blackness Road. Dundee, Very serious internal injuries caused by machine running over his chest. James Bowman (5), on of Charles Bowman, tenter, Lawrence Street, Dundee -- Left thigh broken. George Norval (19), miner, Chapel, Kirkcaldy, Severe scalp wound measuring five inches and simple fracture of the left leg. Wm. Penman, Muttonhole, Kirkcaldy-Bruised about the lower part of the body. Peter Berry (22). miner, Cluny -- Fracture of the right thigh and a very severe compound fracture of the left knee, Alexander Rankine, miner, Kirkcaldy --Severe scalp wound, Matthew Low (18), miner, Lochtybrig, Cardenden -- Wound of the chin and bruising of the back. SLIGHTLY INJURED.
      About a dozen others escaped with less serions injuries. These included Thomas Wilson, Town-hill, Dunfermline ; John Curran, Kirkcaldy ; David Caldwell, 6 Garland Place, Dundee ; Maggie Arnott, Achterderran, Cardenden ; Alexander Anderson, bandsman, Cluny ; David Anderson, bandsman, Cluny ; Andrew Knight (21), Dunnikier Place. Kirkcaldy ; James Hay. Birrell Street, Kirkcaldy ; Thomas Farrell, son of Thomas Farrell, labourer, William Street, King Street ; and Peter McCall, a boy belonging Dundee - all of whom sustained cuts and bruises.
      THE SCENE AT THE INFIRMARY.
      At the Infirmary the scene during the afternoon was very touching. The accident came as thunderclap on the holiday -makers, and while the exact whereabouts of members of many of the families present were unknown - in fact, for a, considerable time many of the women were unaware of what had happened. When the news became generally known the greatest consternation prevailed. Some of the men who were slightly injured took the first train at the Esplanade Station, and on arriving at the Tay Bridge Station proceeded at once to have their wounds properly treated. This made confusion more confounded. No person could account for them, and, with the fact that no authoritative statement could be secured as to those removed to the Infirmary, the women worked themselves up into a state of the most frantic excitement. Inquiries at the scene of the calamity elicited the most unsatisfactory information. One spoke to one party being knocked down, an another group told of others they had seen on the ground. Distracted wives and families on the one hand, and fathers and brothers on the other, made their way to the Infirmary to ascertain the names of those admitted. At this most valuable of our institutions every person was busy. The interests of the officials were those of the injured, but the relatives. in their anxiety, did not recognise this, although when informed that they could not possibly be admitted they at once accepted the decision, and waited patiently outside for news.
      Meanwhile the ambulance vats was continuing to bring additional sufferers, and the weeping women and children thronged the approaches to the insti-tution, crowding round the conveyance in their endeavours to catch a glimpse of those it contained. As a woman recognis her husband or a friend unconscious and helpless she gave vent to her grief in deep-drawn sighs, while children wept bitterly. All seemed to know the injured as they were carried inside on the stretchers, and their position elicited the keenest sympathy. Several caps and coats picked up on the thoroughfare were taken to the Infirmary in the ambulance van, and these were carefully scanned with the view of seeing to whom they belonged. Where these articles were identified by parties in the crowd the worst suspicions arose, but in many cases these were ungrounded, the owners, on hearing where their families were, putting themselves in evidence in inost instances with slight bruises. When the list of the parties in the Infirmary was known considerable relief was afforded, and the most of the anxious inquirers left for home by the evening trains, but in some of the cases the friends remained in the city over night.
      LATEST PARTICULARS OF THE INJURED.
      The result of the doctors' examination put matters in a more favourable light than at first represented, but still it suffices to show the serious character of the mishap. Hugh Macnicoll is rather dangerously ill ; in reality, his is the most serious case, the poor lad having sustained severe internal injuries. These at the outset drove the little fellow unconscious, but he gradually recovered, although on the way to the Infirmary he re-peatedly swooned away. Notwithstanding his youth and the severe nature of his wounds, he displayed wonderful bravery, and, maintaining surprising patience, several times asked on his way to the Infirmary if he was near that institution. The next worse case is that of Peter Berry, Cluny who lies in a somewhat critical condition, though there is good hope of his recovering: t he others are progressing as favourably as could be expected and nothing is anticipated more serious than has already happened. John Curran, Kirkcaldy, who was said to be seriously maimed, sustained trifling bruises. and was discharged after these had been
      attended to.

      In the same paper, same day, next column!

      The honest mans misfortune is the thief's opportunity. In Dundee yesterday, when the accident occurred among the Fife and Clackmannan miners, this was very forcibly proved. No sooner had the runaway horse been captured than a crowd gathered round the injured. When the women came to themselves, numbers of them complained loudly of having been relieved of their purses.
