      What can you find in the census?
      Census returns can help you determine who your ancestors were, and can also tell you:
      - Where your ancestors were living
      - Who they were living with
      - What their occupations were
      - If they had any servants
      - Who their neighbours were
      - If they had any brothers and sisters
      - What their ages were at the time of the census
      - If they had any disabilities.

      As well as giving you the above information, the fact that census returns are taken every ten years also allows you to track the movements of your ancestors through time as they perhaps move house, get married, have children or even change occupations.

      The fields which have been transcribed for the census are:
      - First name
      - Middle name
      - Last name
      - Sex
      - Birth place
      - Age
      - Place of residence
      - County
      - Relationship to head of household

      Why this collection is so valuable
      Census records are valuable since they can tell you where a person lived at a certain place and time. Censuses were conducted by the federal government and will offer a variety of information, depending on year. Census records can answer questions like where your ancestors were living at the time the census was taken, who they were living with, what their occupations were, who their neighbors were, if they had any brothers and sisters, what their ages were at the time of the census and if they had any disabilities.

      Searching the census
      The golden rule of family history is to check the original historical record, or 'primary source', wherever possible. We have provided clear images of the original census enumeration books for you to view once you've found the right family in the indexes. When using census returns you should first search the transcriptions to help locate your ancestor in the census, and then view the original images to validate your findings. It will also help you see the household in the context of surrounding households. This is particularly important as transcribing an entire census is a huge and difficult task, and whilst we have used the expertise of our transcribers and the experience of key representatives from the genealogy community to help us translate the records, it is inevitable that there will be some errors.

      Next steps
      With the information you gain from these census records, you will have the information you need to search for vital records in the locality where you found your ancestor. Also, the fact that census returns are taken every ten years also allows you to track the movements of our ancestors through time as they perhaps move house, get married, have children or even change occupations.

      What is in the 1911 census?
      In common with the censuses that preceded it, it recorded the following information:
      - Where an individual lived
      - Their age at the time of the census
      - Who (what relatives) they were living with
      - Their place of birth
      - Occupation
      - Details of any guests on the night of the census
      - Details of any servants they had

      Also, depending on an individual's circumstances, additional information could include:
      - Whether they were an employee or employer
      - Precise details of the industry or service they worked in
      - Details of nationality
      - Duration of their current marriage
      - Number of children born to that marriage
      - Number of children still living, and the number who had died
      - Details of any illnesses or conditions each family member had, and the date these began

      Fertility in marriage and occupational data
      In response to government concerns the 1911 census also asked additional, more specific questions to each household, about fertility in marriage and occupational data.

      The 1911 census and the suffragettes
      Frustrated with the government's refusal to grant women the vote, a large number of women boycotted the 1911 census by refusing to be counted. There were two forms of protest. In the first, the women (or their husbands) refused to fill in the form, often recording their protest on the household schedule. In the second, women evaded the census by staying away from their home for the whole night, and so did not lodge their protest on the household schedule. In both cases, any details relating to individual women in the households will be missing from the census. For the family historian, a refusal to fill in the form (accompanied by a protest statement) at least registers the presence of a woman, or women, in the household. But the women who evaded the count by leaving their home for the night are entirely untraceable via the census. The exact number of women who boycotted the census is not known, though some people have estimated that it may be as many as several thousand.
