Censuses first started in 1801 the first 3 were not saved and very few survive. The first offical ones to be saved was 1841, this does not give much information but it was more than the 1st 3. 1851 you will find the format very similar to the later ones. Irene

Early census were just "head2 counts and did not record much info and I don't think any were kept until the 1841 which is of more use for family history. Kim
