Census schedules are one of the most useful resources available to family historians. The first genealogically useful census (for the UK & Ireland) was taken in 1841, when names were first recorded.

Some of the information requested was:

• Name of each person
• Relationship of person to the head of the household
• Marital status, age, sex
• Person's profession or occupation
• Person's place of birth
• Whether blind, deaf, or idiot
• Name of street, place, road, etc.
