The United Kingdom Census 1911 of 2 April 1911 was the 12th nationwide census conducted in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.[1]

The 1911 census was the first to ask about nationality, the duration of current marriage, number of children born within that marriage, number of living children and the number of any children who had died. It was the first census where the original forms were retained and not copied into enumeration books and the first to record full details of British Army personnel stationed overseas instead of just a simple headcount.[1]

Online access

The census data was published online on a subscription basis in 2009.

Geographical scope

The census cover England and Wales, the Isle of Man,[2] and the Channel Islands but does not include Scotland. It also includes ships of the Royal Navy at sea and in ports abroad.
