1901 Census on Genes Reunited:
  • The 1901 census is one of the most useful records set for tracing your ancestors in England and Wales. On 31st March 1901 census enumerators went round every home in England and Wales recording who was present.
  • As this census was conducted in 1901 it means that most people can find a great grandparent in these records.
How can the 1901 census help me discover my family history?
  • The census records show a snapshot of your ancestor in 1901 and reveal their age, occupation, address and the people they were living with when the census was conducted in 1901.
  • By finding your great grandfather in the 1901 census you might find him at home with his entire family, helping you add even more ancestors to your family tree.
  • Once you have found your ancestor in the 1901 census you can trace your family back through the earlier census records – just follow the thread backwards!
  • The 1841 census through to the 1901 census records cover nearly all of the reign of Queen Victoria up to her death in 1901, giving a unique insight into Victorian Britain.
