FreeCEN was started early in 2000 with a pilot project for the 1891 census returns for Devon. The aim of Free Census is to transcribe all the UK 19th century census returns. It is part of Free UKGEN and is a sister project to FreeBMD and Free REG. The intention is that all three of the UK primary sources for the family historian will be online and “free to view.” Six months after the Devon project started, the Cornwall 1891 commenced.

Main Topics:

This data is a transcription of all census enumerators books of the Cornwall registration districts, however this does not entirely match up with the county boundary. Near the border with Devon some parishes are the wrong side of the boundary. Variables include Number of Schedule; road, street and number and/or name of house. Forename and Surname, Relation to Head of Household, martial status, age at last birthday, occupation, place of birth, disability and additional notes.
