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.
