Census Search

Census records are probably the most important source for tracing your ancestors back to the early 19th century. Since 1841 census records have listed the people in each home together with details of their lives. These records are kept private for 100 years before being released for public viewing.

What do they tell us?

The information provided in censuses increased with every decade. The records are organised by address, so, the first thing you can see is where your relatives lived. You’ll also find a list of all the names within that household – these are likely to be more of your ancestors as they’re usually spouses, parents or children of the people you are searching for.

The censuses only listed the names of the people in the house on the day the census was taken. You may find that a family member was living elsewhere for work or financial reasons or had married or died.

British families often named children following a simple set of rules; 1st son after father's father, 2nd son after mother's father, 3rd son after father, 1st daughter after mother's mother, 2nd daughter after father's mother and 3rd daughter after mother. This often gives us a starting point to trace their parents and can often verify that you have traced the correct people.

In the United Kingdom 1841 census adults’ ages were rounded down to the nearest five years, and people were simply asked whether they were born in that country. From 1851, though, you’ll find each person’s correct age (assuming they were honest, could count or remember their birth date), along with a more precise place of birth. It should be noted though that the information given here may contain some inaccuracies due to misinterpretation of the original written record.

The dates for births, marriages and deaths in the family tree for Elizabeth Baxter Dick are accurate if found from actual record copies of these events. Where the dates are taken only from census returns they may not be accurate and are assigned a circa (c) mark. Where this mark is used the dates are usually accurate to within two or three years.

Marriage information is taken from the actual marriage record copies that were found during the research. Not all of the marriage records of the family tree members are listed in this report. We only require full marriage details when we need to find further information from the record, e.g. dates, occupations and parents’ names.

This report also includes military records and newspaper articles for some of the family tree members.

Direct descendants of Elizabeth are listed in bold .
