The Rest of The United Kingdom
Note that when referring to the Census of England and Wales, sometimes it is described as "the UK Census" or "the British Census". This is in error, as the Census of England and Wales does not include the Census of Northern Ireland or of Scotland. The data for the census of these regions of the UK are held in different locations to that of the England and Wales Census.
Prior to the secession of the Irish Free State, the whole of Ireland engaged in the census on the same night. Unfortunately none of the Census returns from Ireland for the 19th century still exist. The 1901 Census is the first complete Census, and is available online.

Famous quotes containing the words rest, united and/or kingdom:
“Lie dry, rest robbed, my beast.
You have kicked from a dark den, leaped up the whinnying light,
And dug your grave in my breast.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“Of all the nations in the world, the United States was built in nobody’s image. It was the land of the unexpected, of unbounded hope, of ideals, of quest for an unknown perfection. It is all the more unfitting that we should offer ourselves in images. And all the more fitting that the images which we make wittingly or unwittingly to sell America to the world should come back to haunt and curse us.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“This is the Key of the Kingdom:
In that Kingdom is a city;”
—Unknown. This Is the Key (l. 1–2)
