Record Description
This collection will include records for 1851.
Census schedules consist of large sheets with preprinted rows and columns. The schedules are arranged by county and then divided by civil parish, while some are further subdivided into smaller enumeration districts, each district being an area that could be enumerated in a day. For reference purposes, the National Archives assigned a piece number to each enumeration district and stamped a folio number in the upper right corner of each right-side page. The number refers to entries on both sides of the page (both the recto and verso of the folio).
Microfilm copies are also available at the Family Records Centre, located at 1 Myddelton Street, Islington, London EC1R 1UW.
The Registrar General created the national censuses. Enumerators went door to door collecting the data in census books. Censuses taken between 1851 and 1931 were conducted on a single day, sometime between March 31 and April 8. The census takers listed only those who spent the night in each household, so individuals who were traveling or at school were listed where they spent the night. Almost all of the residents of England, whether they were citizens or not, are included in the census.
The original schedules are well preserved and housed at the Public Records Office in Kew. Microfilm copies are located at the Family History Library, at the Family Records Centre in England, and at county record offices and some libraries. An attempt is now being made to preserve the records by transcribing and publishing them. Some of these preservation efforts are being published in book form, while others are being posted on the Internet.
The British government has taken censuses every 10 years since 1801, except for 1941. This census covers those living in England and Wales on 31 March 1851.
The information gathered by the census taker is only as reliable as the person who provided the information. While some information may not be completely accurate, it can still provide important clues in locating an ancestor.
The Registrar General created censuses for various reasons, including population studies, accessing military readiness, compiling lists of eligible voters, and tracking relief to the poor.
As with the 1841 census, the 1851 census has missing images. Ancestry.co.uk has provided a list of the missing images, as well as a listing of the areas that were damaged by water during storage and recoverable through new technology. FindMyPast also provides a listing, but you need to scroll down to this section to view it. If you are unable to locate your ancestor, it is wise to make sure their living area is one of the missing areas.

Record Content
These census records usually contain the following information:
- Date, place, district, parish and county where census was taken
- Given names and surnames for members in each household
- Age, gender and birthplace for each household member
- Marital status and occupation for each household member
- Occupation
- Relationship to the head of the household
How to Use the Records
To begin your search, it would be helpful if you knew the person's name and the time period when he or she lived.
Search the Collection
To search the collection by name:
Fill in the requested information in the search page. When you search for your ancestor, there will be a list of possible matches for them. Compare the information about the ancestors in the record that you have found, to what you already know about your ancestors to determine if this is the correct family or person. You may need to compare the information on the image of the record to make sure that the record is correct.
Tips to Keep in Mind
- You may have to read around marks made by the clerks who compiled the census data. These marks sometimes obscure the information.
- The census record may also list the birth country for people born outside of England.
- Accept the ages with caution.
- Given names may not be the same as a name recorded in church or vital records.
- The information may be incorrect.
- Names may be spelled phonetically (or as they sounded to the census taker).
- Place-names may be misspelled.
- Individuals missing from a family may be listed elsewhere in the census.
All members of a family living in the same household will be listed together. When you find your family in one census, search earlier or later censuses to find additional family members and to verify details.
General Information About These Records
Census records are a good source to use as you search for your relatives. Use census records to help you find the age of your ancestor, as well as birthplace, occupation, and address. The records can also help you define relationships between individuals.

Madie Becker and the rest of the Orioles came out of the locker room to a standing cheer from their student section, and the tears began flooding down her face.
It has been a long time coming for Augusta's girls basketball team. The Orioles, seeded No. 8 in the Mulvane sub-state tournament after getting just four wins all season, got the most emotional win of their lives.
With the game against Wellington - a team that already had beaten Augusta twice this year - tied 26-26 in the waning seconds, Casady Marlnee took the Orioles' hopes for a win down the lane on an aggressive drive. Marlnee blew by a defender, pulled up for a baby jumper, almost a layup, and kissed it off the glass as the ball bounced around the rim and through the net.
The Orioles had to wait half a second more as Wellington's desperation shot missed, then burst into celebration with a big group hug as Augusta defeated the Crusaders 28-26 Friday night.
"I'm on cloud 9 right now," Becker said, still shaking with excitement. "It's indescribable. Just the fact that they thought we couldn't do it. And we proved them wrong. It just shows that we worked so hard and it's finally paying off."
With the win, the team advanced to the sub-state championship game, a place that seemed unlikely for the Orioles and where the program hasn't been in a long time. Even for coach Tracy Anderson, in her first year with the team, she felt the weight of the win was more emotional than any game she's been through.
"I've never been emotional after a game, even as a player and as a coach," Anderson said. "I was really emotional because I was just so happy for them. So happy. It shows that they have perseverance."
Augusta will play Clearwater at 6 p.m. Saturday in Mulvane with a trip to the state tournament on the line.
The final play actually wasn't even designed for Marlnee originally. But no one else got open, so Marlnee decided to watch the clock and wait for the right moment before taking her chance. She said she wasn't sure if the ball was going in after it left her hand. She even hinted that it wasn't a miracle shot and that she would've been disappointed if had missed that close of a shot.
"It was a routine shot," Marlnee said. "I shoot off the dribble. That's my best shot. I was hoping for a clearout. But [coach] said no shots unless it was under 10 seconds."
Marlnee made the heroic play in a game that needed heroic performances. Marlnee hit a 3-pointer and finished with a team-high 10 points in a defensive battle that was physically draining for both teams.
"She made a great read," Anderson said of Marlnee's game winner. "The last time we played them, she had settled for a lot of outside shots, and she had not done well. I told her I needed her to be aggressive, and that's what she did."
Anderson felt that senior Kalie Robinson was the game MVP for her effort on defense. Marlnee agreed that it wasn't her shot, but the team's defensive effort, that truly won the game. Robinson said her sole goal of the night was to stop Wellington's standout shooter, Kailey Jenkins, who had crushed the Orioles from the 3-point line in the previous two meetings.
"I didn't think about shooting or anything else that much. I had to play hard on [defense], give it my all," Robinson said about covering Jenkins.
Taylor Childers worked hard on both ends of the court. She didn't shy away from contact and drew hard fouls all night. She made 7 of 9 free throws and finished with nine points and several rebounds. Becker and Hope Travaille also dove on the ground for rebounds and helped patrol the paint. Even though the Orioles had 19 turnovers, their hustle for offensive rebounds and ability to get to the free throw line were enough to stay on course.
"We're going to win ugly, and I'm perfectly fine with that," Anderson said.
Wellington's defense wasn't exactly forgiving, either. Augusta went more than 9 minutes in the second half without one field goal before Marlnee's winning shot.
"That tops the most exciting moment," Robinson said. "...When I looked at the scoreboard, it hit me and I started balling my eyes out. Casady, I'm so proud of her."

Sala Bai Kitchen
There are stories that words alone can't tell. Cambodia is one of them. While the country is struggling to recover from the brutality of the Khmer Rouge, most of its people continue to live in dire poverty. Cambodia is tough to process; it assaults the mind and spirit, so it's best to let photographs tell that part of the story. There is, however, another more uplifting story to be told. Within Cambodia there are small groups of expats and NGO's who try, in ways large and small, to beat back poverty and offer hope to the people of this beleaguered country. The Australian Social Aid Agency and Agir Pour Le Cambodge are among those groups. They operate Sala Bai, a hotel school that trains young people from underprivileged families to work in the hospitality industry. Priority is given to girls, who are excluded from the traditional school system. Three-quarters of the students, some of whom are orphans, have never lived in town and come from the rice fields of villages in the area. The school trains 100 students a year; they are selected for the program based on records, an examination and an interview with the applicants and their families. All of the schools graduates find employment and earn a decent salary by Cambodian standards. One hundred is not a large number, but if you're among those chosen, your life, and that of your family, will forever be changed. Funds to support Sala Bai come from institutions such as the Orion Hotel alliance, star chefs like Joannes Riviere and culinary students around the world who dig into their own empty pockets to help as they can. Some future stars in the culinary world are being trained here; the best of them are snatched to apprentice in the kitchens of five star hotels. These kids can cook. Some of them can create. Today's recipe is based on a salad I had at Sala Bai. It's refreshing and simple to do. I hope you'll give it a try.
Khmer Green Papaya Salad
3 cups green papaya, peeled and finely julienned
1 cup carrots, peeled and finely julienned
1/2 cup finely sliced onion
1 cup cucumber, peeled and finely julienned
1 small red bell pepper, stemmed and finely julienned
1/4 cup hot water
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup lime juice
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Salt and pepper to taste
1 handful fresh mint, torn into pieces
1/2 cup roasted peanuts
1) Combine papaya, carrots,onion, cucumber, and bell pepper in a large bowl. Set aside.
2) Combine water and sugar in a small bowl. Stir until sugar dissolves. Add lime juice and pepper flakes. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
3) Pour dressing over salad. Add mint and peanuts; toss to combine ingredients. Transfer to a serving dish or plates. Yield: 6 servings.
Cook's Note: Hot chili peppers can replace the pepper flakes. Plain boiled shrimp can be added to the salad.

Inundated roads, flood warnings and the potential for more mudslides will make commuting challenging for some Henderson County residents on Monday morning.
Inundated roads, flood warnings and the potential for more mudslides will make commuting challenging for some Henderson County residents on Monday morning, after more than 2.25 inches of rain fell Sunday.
The National Weather Service said Sunday's steady downpour broke a daily record at the Asheville Regional Airport set in 2003 and pushed the year-to-date rainfall totals to 24.16 inches, about 9 inches above average.
Although rainfall was expected to slacken late Sunday, another band of moisture is forecast to track northeast from the Alabama/Georgia border, bringing an additional half-inch to some areas of the French Broad Valley between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. Monday, said Neil Dixon, a NWS meteorologist in Greer, S.C.
The French Broad River climbed above its flood stage of 16 feet in Blantyre about 3:30 p.m. Sunday. The NWS issued a river flood warning for Henderson and Transylvania counties lasting until 9:42 p.m. Wednesday. The river is expected to crest around 19.5 feet by Monday afternoon, flooding fields and railroad tracks.
Low-lying portions of roads throughout Henderson County were underwater and barricaded as of late Sunday, according to Henderson County Fire Marshal Wally Hollis.
"All of our standard places are out," he said, including Airport Road near College Drive; Balfour Road near Hendersonville's water treatment plant; Warlick, Jeffress and Butler Bridge roads in Mills River; Fruitland Road just past Lancaster Road; and East Caswell, South King and White streets in Hendersonville.
The Fourth Avenue entrance to Jackson Park was also flooded late Sunday, Hollis said.
"It'll probably be the same situation in the morning, if things don't change, and they haven't predicted any big changes overnight," Hollis said Sunday. "I don't expect a whole lot more flooding, but I don't expect this to recede anytime soon."
Mudslides blocked one, then both lanes of Chimney Rock Road near its junction with U.S. Highway 74 in Bat Cave between 3 and 5 p.m. Sunday, according to Assistant Fire Chief Danny Freeman of the Bat Cave Volunteer Fire Department.
While Bat Cave VFD members directed traffic, a two-person crew from the N.C. Department of Transportation used a backhoe to clear the road of mud and trees that spilled down a steep embankment onto the pavement.
"We're just now clearing the scene," Freeman said around 6 p.m. Sunday. "They've got it opened up, but they'll probably have to do more work on it in the morning. It started with a small one that blocked one lane, and later it really slid out."
Officials warn motorists not to drive through flooded roadways. Besides being dangerous, Hollis said driving around barricades is illegal and can result in a citation.
Soggy and cold conditions forced organizers to cancel two races scheduled for Sunday. The Bearwallow Beast 5K Trail Run was postponed "due to extreme winds plus cold, rain and flooding." A rain date will be announced at www.bearwallowbeast.com.
Meanwhile, organizers for "The GNAR," the Gnarliest Kids Adventure Race at Camp Pinnacle, had to reschedule their competition until Sunday, May 19, in hopes the weather will be, well, less gnarly.
A flood watch remains in effect for Henderson, Transylvania and Polk counties until 6 a.m. Monday. Dixon said the Hendersonville area stands to get more rain Monday, with the best chances in the morning. Highs are not expected to crawl above the mid-60s.
"There'll be showers around, but not this kind of widespread coverage," he said.

Hendersonville City Council agreed to proceed with an application for a Community Block Development Grant to partially cover the cost of bringing a city water line to the Dana community, which is struggling with contaminated wells.
Hendersonville City Council agreed to proceed with an application for a Community Block Development Grant to partially cover the cost of bringing a city water line to the Dana community, which is struggling with contaminated wells.
Residents with tainted wells off of Academy Road are urged to limit showers to 5 minutes and avoid drinking the water, after testing showed high levels of dieldrin once used as a pesticide for fruit and vegetable crops. The chemical was banned in the 80s because of its potential harmful effects to humans.
G. Landon Davidson, regional supervisor of the N.C. Division of Water Quality's groundwater protection section, informed council that they have sampled 72 wells in the area and 23 had above standards for dieldrin. Four of those 23 also show elevated levels of heptachlor epoxide, another chemical used on crops that has since been banned.
Donella Pressley told the council that her elderly mother, who lives on East Hill Drive, has been drinking the water 31 years and she wonders how the contaminated water may have affected her health.
"You don't really realize how much you use your water until you can't," she said. "A simple task of brushing your teeth has become slightly complicated."
"Our only solution is city water and if there's anything you can do to help us expedite that, it's greatly appreciated," Pressley added. "This has affected our daily life, our quality of life and possibly our quantity of life. (The effects of) long-term exposure to these chemicals are still unknown."
Stan Jones, of 7 East Hill Drive, said "we can all relate to taking the risk of being exposed to dangerous chemicals. Most of the time when you're exposed, you willingly take the risk. We've been exposed not by taking a risk, (but) by having our lives secretly invaded by circumstances way beyond our control at no fault to us in the Dana community."
"Our quality of life has been affected as well as probably the length of our lives, and we've been directly affected by the contamination of our precious well water. Any help you can supply to us in this situation will be greatly appreciated."
Henderson County commissioners voted unanimously March 20 to authorize County Engineer Marcus Jones to apply for a $300,000 grant from the Rural Center's Clean Water Infrastructure Program to aid in the extension of city lines.
City Utilities Director Lee Smith said they believe the county will be awarded the full grant and the Bernard Allen Emergency Drinking Water Fund could cover up to a third of the $600,000 project. Smith anticipates funds from the CDBG will help cover the costs of connection for residents tapping onto the new line.
Davidson told the council that he supports the water line as a permanent solution. Seirisse Baker, water quality administrator at the Environmental & Conservation Organization, also expressed support of the project.
"I think this council is aware of the seriousness of the situation you all are dealing with out there," said Mayor Barbara Volk.
Councilman Ron Stephens asked if they could be reimbursed by grants if they start work before the grants are approved.
Smith answered that sometimes "they don't reimburse."
"Do we trap ourselves" if we start work early?" Stephens asked, adding that the people in Dana are living in a state of emergency.
Smith said he talked with the state director of the CDBG. They are all aware of the urgency of the situation, he said.
Councilman Jerry Smith asked when they could break ground on the project, "in a perfect world."
"If you approve it in May, we can start (design work) the next day," Lee Smith said, adding that they could break ground as early as September or October. Construction is estimated to take six to eight months. That timeline will depend on securing grant funds, surveys, easements, permits and project designs in a timely fashion, he said.
Davidson said he feels like "everything so far is moving as fast as it can."
Mayor pro tem Jeff Collis motioned to authorize Lee Smith to submit an application for the CDBG grant. The council agreed unanimously.
Lee Smith told the board that at the May meeting, they will hold another public hearing for the grant, as required in the CDBG program.
The Bernard Allen Emergency Drinking Water Fund is providing bottled water for residents to use while the city and county work on extending water lines.
Lee Smith said they have received approval from Dana Baptist Church to install a tap on the property for residents to access water. He added that, hopefully, the Bernard Allen fund will pay for the water consumed.

The Terrebonne Parish Council approved the 2013 parish budget Wednesday night with little discussion.
The Terrebonne Parish Council approved the 2013 parish budget Wednesday night with little discussion.
The budget is $203 million, up about 4 percent from this year's $196 million spending plan. The budget for parish operations, excluding construction projects, comes to about $193 million.
Parish officials cited higher sales-tax revenue this year and an increase in property-tax money next year for the ability to spend more.
The new budget aims to improve the parish's roads, drainage and coastal-restoration efforts.
Parish employees got a 3 percent raise last year but will not receive raises in 2013. Also, the premiums parish employees pay for health insurance will increase by 5 percent over the next three years.
Some of the major projects in the budget include $500,000 to repave Thompson Road from La. 56 to La. 57, $2.8 million for Bayou LaCarpe drainage improvements and $447,000 for repairs to the Houma-Terrebonne Civic Center roof.
Also in the budget are plans to set aside $630,000 for a skate park and $100,000 for public-safety programs that include spending $25,000 for crime cameras in Houma.
About $3.3 million will go toward coastal-restoration projects.
At the meeting, Houma resident Floyd Bergeron said he's fine with the parish tackling "a big bunch of projects," but he doesn't want smaller projects overlooked.
Bergeron said many residential streets still have problems that need fixing.
"What I want to address is that small jobs are needed to be done," he said. "I got a place at 225 Kelly St., and all up and down my street it floods."
The parish is working with a multimillion-dollar budget, Bergeron said, and some of that money can be spent on smaller projects.
Parish President Michel Claudet said he would be happy to look into Bergeron's concerns.

Oh, that Jeff Fisher. What a comic.
The St. Louis Rams' first-year coach delivered a funny line when asked about his players leaving the comforts of their climate-controlled dome and venturing to play at Buffalo this December weekend.
"I'll probably have a meeting at some point and give the guys the option as to whether or not they want to make the trip," Fisher said. "If they're uncomfortable with the cold weather, we can leave them behind."
Don't be fooled, quarterback Sam Bradford and Co. are coming.
Having already twice braved the challenges of handling whatever the NFC West-leading San Francisco 49ers can throw at them, Fisher and his Rams (5-6-1) are not expecting to be intimidated by a forecast calling for rain and temperatures in the low 40s on Sunday.
"To me, it's a great challenge. It's kind of a test of our will," Fisher said. "You're going to go up there. The weather's not going to be ideal. You find out a lot about yourselves."
The Rams are on a 2-1-1 roll that includes a tie and a win over the 49ers. They're still on the fringes of the playoff race and have a chance to win three straight and finish a season with eight or more victories for the first time since 2006.
On Sunday, they'll face a Bills team that, at 5-7, is starting to feel much better about itself after overcoming early-season struggles.
And don't begrudge Bills players if they're rooting for bad weather to give them an edge.
"Without a doubt, especially when you've got a team coming in that plays in a dome," running back Fred Jackson said. "There's teams that can come in and play in any condition. We know that. But some teams aren't ready for it. They don't play in it like we do."
That was the case last weekend when the Bills turned to their ground game to counter a persistent drizzle and heavy winds in a 34-18 win over the warm-weather Jacksonville Jaguars. Given that the Rams possess one of the NFL's best pass rushes, the opportunity again presents itself for the Bills to go with their one-two punch of Jackson and speedster C.J. Spiller.
Despite the Bills having an indoor practice facility, coach Chan Gailey isn't afraid of taking his players outside for a session or two at this time of year.
"Sometimes they don't like it. To be honest with you, I don't like it sometimes. It's cold. But so what?" Gailey said. "That's the way the game is. You got to go play, get ready for it."
In St. Louis, Fisher did the best he could to prepare his players by having them practice with wet balls to get a better handle on what might be in store.
Conditions aside, the Rams have found it difficult winning anywhere.
Since Mike Martz was fired after five games in 2005, St. Louis is now on its fifth head coach (including two interims). This franchise has not made the playoffs since 2004, and not finished with a winning record since going 12-4 in 2003.
The Rams have been particularly bad on the road. Since 2006, they're 8-36-1 away from St. Louis, including 1-3-1 this year.
Another issue is winning outside their division. They're 4-0-1 against the NFC West this season, and 1-6 against everyone else.
"I think our record could be better than what it is now. But to win the last two weeks and get ourselves back to the position we're in now, I think it says a lot about our character," Bradford said. "But I think winning a game outside the NFC West and on the road, it's the next step in this team's progression."
The Rams' revival has been sparked by an aggressive defense; St. Louis is tied for fourth in the NFL with 34 sacks, 15 1/2 coming from defensive ends Chris Long and Robert Quinn.
It's their Bradford-led offense that's struggling with consistency. The Rams have been held under 20 points seven times this season, and they have more touchdowns from their defense (four) than they've scored rushing (three).
The Bills are in a similar position now that their Mario Williams-led high-priced defense has begun to jell since the team's bye week. After allowing an average 424 yards in its first seven games, Buffalo's given up an average of 290 over its past five.
Williams, who signed a six-year, $100 million contract in March, has particularly stepped up. He has six of his team-leading 9 1/2 sacks since the bye.
"I think maybe the best word to express would be relief," general manager Buddy Nix said of his defense's improved play. "I did underestimate how long it would take. I thought it would be quicker. It wasn't. But I think we're getting there now."
