As census returns are subject to public closure for 100 years because of the potentially sensitive personal information they contain, the English and Welsh census returns that are currently available to the public are as follows:
1841 - taken on 7 June
1851 - taken on 30 March
1861 - taken on 7 April
1871 - taken on 2 April
1881 - taken on 3 April
1891 - taken on 5 April
1901 - taken on 31 March
1911 - taken on 2 April
Whilst the census returns for 1801, 1811, 1821 and 1831 were not preserved in their complete form, there are some areas where returns for these years have been found and some survive in local authority libraries and archives.
1801 - taken on 10 March
1811 - taken on 27 May
1821 - taken on 28 May
1831 - taken on 30 May
