Westward Ho! Census – 1861

Census records are a great source of information, not only can you find out who was living in a certain place on the night of the census but, depending on the year, a lot more information.

The copies of the census records are copyright so cannot be copied to this site. However, the transcribed contents are not the subject of such restrictions.

As such, with thanks to the hard work of David Gale, below are the entire records for 1861.

Some of the handwriting was difficult to read, so there may be errors within this data.
