Census

Our census questionnaire arrived this evening. I’m looking forward to filling it in online.

Having spent a couple of years working with the 1911 England & Wales census, I know what a wonderful source of information a census is. From sweeping statistical conclusions drawn across the data set, to personal stories explored through individual entries, a census is a fantastic thing. Make sure you fill in your questionnaire wisely. Your descendants may find delight or despair in your answers in centuries to come.
