CENSUSES — these were taken every 10 years from 1841 and give a variety of details depending on the year.
The basic records include the names, status (single, married, widowed) , age, place of birth, relationship to the household, ( head, wife, visitor) occupation and sometimes the address of the property.
Census records are only available up to 1911 due to the 100 years secrecy law.
Other information was gained by typing in the names, services or theatres of war.
