Synopsis

Providing researchers with a guide to the 19th century census records, this book also provides an administrative background to the census, describing the documents in detail and commenting on the nature and reliability of the information they contain. These manuscripts are widely used by genealogists, historical demographers, and those interested in social, economic and local history and the book can also be used both as a general introduction to the subject and as a means of reference when working on the records.
