Census Records:
All the censuses between 1841 and 1901 are now available on
a number of fee-paying (Subscription or PayAsYouGo) sites including Ancestry.co.uk,
FindMyPast.co.uk, thegenealogist.co.uk and genesreunited.co.uk.
The 1911 census is
available in full or in part on some of these sites. We are unable to
advise on the choice
of site since
researchers' personal preferences will be influenced by the content and
search
facilities offered by each site. Some sites offer a free trial.
Access to the library edition of Ancestry.co.uk is widely available at most record offices, including Worcestershire Library and History Centre, and some libraries. You are advised to book time on their computers before making a visit.
A free-to-view site is being developed at freecen.org.uk for the 1841, 1851, 1861, 1871 and 1891 censuses. Coverage of Worcestershire parishes is rather sparse at this time.
Census returns can usually be viewed at Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints' Family History Centres.
Some repositories offer census details on microform, disc or printed copy. These include:1841 at Worcestershire
