Description (What the record is about)
-
The series consists of printed maps with manuscript additions, mainly showing registration districts and sub-districts in England and Wales, at the time of the population censuses of 1861 (London only), 1871 (except London), 1891 and 1921. Maps for some areas are wanting (ie never transferred to The National Archives). Maps forming this series can be used to identify registration districts for hamlets and small centres of population, which are not noted in the catalogue descriptions and do not appear in the printed indexes to the censuses.
Digital images of the 1871 census maps can be searched online through our partner website.
