Title: 1911 England & Wales Census Page: https://www.myheritage.com/research/collection-10446/1911-england-wales-census?s=274040571&itemId=10775293-&groupId=5b8635712ca95fa996046c527e971ad0&action=showRecord&indId=individual-274040571-6000880 Publication: MyHeritage Text: <b>What is in the 1911 census?</b>In common with the censuses that preceded it, it recorded the following information:- Where an individual lived- Their age at the time of the census- Who (what relatives) they were living with- Their place of birth- Occupation- Details of any guests on the night of the census- Details of any servants they hadAlso, depending on an individual's circumstances, additional information could include:- Whether they were an employee or employer- Precise details of the industry or service they worked in- Details of nationality- Duration of their current marriage- Number of children born to that marriage- Number of children still living, and the number who had died- Details of any illnesses or conditions each family member had, and the date these began<b>Fertility in marriage and occupational data</b>In response to government concerns the 1911 census also asked additional, more specific questions to each household, about fertility in marriage and occupational data.<b>The 1911 census and the suffragettes</b>Frustrated with the government's refusal to grant women the vote, a large number of women boycotted the 1911 census by refusing to be counted. There were two forms of protest. In the first, the women (or their husbands) refused to fill in the form, often recording their protest on the household schedule. In the second, women evaded the census by staying away from their home for the whole night, and so did not lodge their protest on the household schedule. In both cases, any details relating to individual women in the households will be missing from the census. For the family historian, a refusal to fill in the form (accompanied by a protest statement) at least registers the presence of a woman, or women, in the household. But the women who evaded the count by leaving their home for the night are entirely untraceable via the census. The exact number of women who boycotted the census is not known, though some people have estimated that it may be as many as several thousand.DC Thomson Family History service provided to MyHeritage members by agreement with The National Archives, London. |

Title: 1939 Register of England & Wales Page: https://www.myheritage.com/research/record-10678-35055362/alice-wisbeach-in-1939-register-of-england-wales Publication: MyHeritage Text: The 1939 Register was conducted in ways like a census and includes similar information. One important difference for genealogists is the full date of birth is recorded in the 1939 Register for each person whereas the traditional censuses conducted in England and Wales only records each person’s age. The information in this collection was gathered under the authority of the National Registration Act of 1939 – an emergency measure at the start of the Second World War. 65,000 enumerators delivered the forms ahead of the official registration day. On Friday, 29 September 1939 (National Registration Day) householders were required to record the requested information on the supplied forms. On the following Sunday and Monday local enumerators visited every household, checked and gathered the completed forms, and issued identity cards to each of the residents in the household. Of the 42 million individuals who are recorded in this collection, 8.2 million records remain closed due to privacy protection requirements, and about 700,000 additional records appear without full names. Records are closed for those individuals who were born less than 100 years ago unless matched to a registered death record. These closed records will be made public and added to this online collection on a yearly basis going forward. * The 1921 Census has not yet been released and is expected to be available online in 2022. The 1951 Census is closed until 2052. |
