Searching the 1861 England, Wales & Scotland 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. Note: the census includes details of people resident in docked vessels and institutions such as prisons, workhouses, hospitals, and barracks, as well as individual households. What can you find in the 1861 census? Census returns can not only help us determine who our ancestors were, but they can also tell us: 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 us the above information, the fact that census returns are taken every ten years also allows us to track the movements of our ancestors through time as they perhaps move house, get married, have children or even change occupations. The fields which have been transcribed for the 1861 England, Wales & Scotland Census on findmypast are: First name Middle name Last name Sex Marriage condition Occupation Birth place Age Place of residence County Relationship to head of household Known Issues in the 1861 England, Wales & Scotland Census Having trouble finding a man aged 14-18 years or older in the 1861 England, Wales & Scotland Census? He could have been in the army and you may find him in the 1861 Worldwide Army Index. The Index is extensive and lists nearly a quarter of a million men, the majority of these serving overseas.

  • Altitude Problem
    Viewpoint Altitude problem Time: 15 mins Region: East of England Landscape: rural Location: Tydd St Giles, near Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, PE13 5NU Grid reference: TF 38300 13300 Keep an eye out for: shed-like brick buildings - these are the Fens water pumping stations You may be wondering why we have brought you to this rather flat and featureless set of fields. Looking around there are only crops, minor roads and the odd farm building: not much to attract our attention. Well this is an ‘invisible’ viewpoint! You might not be able to see much but take a look at the section of OS map near the pin. Find the contour line (the thin brown line snaking through the middle of the image). This marks the height of the land in metres above sea level. Look carefully and you’ll see it reads 0 metres. This means we are on land that’s lower than the sea. Why is this Cambridgeshire field - 20 miles from the coast - actually under the sea? The answer is all around. Look for the long straight channels across the fields. In wet weather they are full of water. These are not natural rivers but artificial ditches, dug to drain water off the fields. So much water was drained away here that the soil dried out and shrank. This lowered the land so much that in places it is now below sea-level! But why was the land drained here and how? Originally the expanse of low-lying land from Cambridge through The Wash and up into Lincolnshire was inhospitable.

  • Denbighshire
    Denbighshire The underlying geology and soils of Denbighshire creates a great variety of land uses with arable land historically being concentrated in the lowlands along the boundary with Caernarvonshire, along the coastal strip and surrounding the major towns and cities. Small scale arable cultivation was a feature of the mixed farming in the area as shown by the 1930s land use survey which is considered a low point in arable cultivation. Growing crops will probably have increased during the World Wars in the 20th Century as there was a greater need to be more self-reliant, and the advent of herbicides and inorganic th fertilisers in the mid 20 Century has led to an increase in crop production in some areas as weed control has improved. However, there is an estimated 68% contraction of cultivated land and land under short-term rotation between the 1930s and 1990s. Arable cultivation is still continued around Abergele, Denbigh, Ruthin, between Chirk and Wrexham and north-east of Wrexham. The decline in arable cultivation could be due to a number of reasons including the general change in farming businesses towards more livestock farming and pastoral land; the increase in herbicides and fertiliser costs which may lie beyond the means of small-scale farms; and the volatility of cereal prices may also have led to a decline in arable cropping with high yields only breaking even in some years. There is a substantial concentration of arable land in the 1990s survey with larger blocks of cultivation being undertaken. This may be the result of agricultural intensification and a greater use of herbicides and fertilisers.

This review is part of the programme of reviews being conducted under the Local Government (Democracy) (Wales) Act 2013, and follows the principles contained in the Commission’s Policy and Practice document. The issue of fairness is at the heart of the Commission’s statutory responsibilities. The Commission’s objective has been to make recommendations that provide for effective and convenient local government, and which respect, as far as possible, local community ties. The recommendations are aimed at improving electoral parity, so that the vote of an individual elector has as equal a value to those of other electors throughout the County, so far as it is possible to achieve. The Commission is grateful to the Members and Officers of Denbighshire County Council for their assistance in its work, to the community and town councils for their valuable contributions, and to all who have made representations throughout the process.
