Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.

This study arose out of the Kingston Local History Project. The purpose of this project is to construct a database detailing major aspects of Kingston's economic and social evolution during the second half of the nineteenth century. The study contains complete census enumerator' books for the census years 1851, 1861, 1871, 1891.

Main Topics:

With one or two slight variations from census to census, the subject content of this data collection was virtually the same for each of the census years 1851, 1861, 1871 and 1891. Covering the census area of Kingston upon Thames (including Kingston, Surbiton, New Malden, Ham, Hook and Chessington) the census enumerators' returns provide the following information on all individuals within all households on census night: address; forename and surname of each individual; relationship to head of household; marital status; age; sex; rank, profession or occupation; where born; and disability. The data collection also contains details of where each individual appears in the census returns by giving the number of the enumeration district, the page number in the census returns and the line number of the page.
