Member Since: October 2007 Posts: 273 Send Message	Someone asked earlier about the date of the 1901 census. It may be useful to know the dates of other censuses: 1841 - 7th June 1851 - 30th March 1861 - 7th April 1871 - 2nd April 1881 - 3rd April 1891 - 5th April 1901 - 31st March 1911 - 2nd April But bear in mind that before 1911 census details were collected by enumerators over a period of several days, not by householders filling in individual forms, so the information may not relate strictly to the specific date. This is one reason why people can be missing or, conversely, appear twice on particular censuses.
