The 1841 British census contains less information than subsequent censuses, including each individual's full name, age rounded to the nearest 5 if 15 or older, sex, occupation, and county of birth. Later censuses from 1851-1911 ask similar questions about name, relationship to head of household, marital status, age, sex, occupation, county/country of birth, and address. These censuses are helpful for tracing ancestors born before 1837 due to recording birth information. Additional details recorded vary between censuses, such as disability status or number of rooms occupied. The 1911 census uniquely preserved original household surveys with additional comments.
