Detailed census search
Both Findmypast and Ancestry.co.uk provide access to UK census records, which are invaluable for genealogical research. The UK has conducted a census every ten years since 1801, with the exception of 1941 due to World War II. However, the censuses from 1801 to 1831 were primarily statistical and did not record personal information useful for family history research. Therefore, the censuses from 1841 onwards are most relevant for genealogists.
Findmypast offers access to the following UK census records:
-
1841–1911 Censuses: These censuses provide detailed information about individuals, including names, ages, occupations, and relationships within households.
-
1921 Census: Findmypast holds the exclusive online rights to the 1921 Census of England and Wales, which was released in January 2022. This census offers a detailed snapshot of the population between the two World Wars.

-
1939 Register: While not a census, the 1939 Register is a crucial resource that captures details of the civilian population at the onset of World War II.
Ancestry.co.uk provides access to:
-
1841–1911 Censuses: Similar to Findmypast, Ancestry offers these census records with searchable indexes and digitized images.
-
1939 Register: Ancestry also provides access to the 1939 Register, aiding research during the mid-20th century.
It's important to note that the 1921 Census is exclusively available online through Findmypast. Additionally, the 1931 Census records were destroyed in a fire, and no census was conducted in 1941 due to World War II. Therefore, the 1921 Census and the 1939 Register are particularly valuable for research during this period.
Both platforms offer various subscription options to access these records. It's advisable to explore each site's offerings to determine which best suits your research needs.
