Title: 1881 census
Post by: Meredith on Tuesday 05 February 08 13:34 GMT (UK)

Hi, I know this may be an old question but can someone tell me what time of the year was the 1881 census taken as I have someone who died in March but is on the census, I was told the census was taken in April so you can see my dilemma.
Thanks

??? Are these available/searchable anywhere?
I didn't think there was a census until 1841?
Would sure fill in some gaps if they are.
