United Kingdom Census 1911

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

The census covered England and Wales, the Channel Islands, ships of the Royal Navy at sea and in ports abroad, but did not include Scotland.

The Census of Ireland, 1911 was carried out on the same day but the records are held separately by the National Archives of Ireland.

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 to record full details of British Army personnel stationed overseas instead of requiring just a simple headcount.

It was also the first census where the forms were completed by the respondents and retained rather than being copied into the enumeration books.

The census forms (schedules) contain an address and schedule number and are divided into sixteen columns:

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