I've been researching the Stobswell area of Dundee in the late 1800s for some time now and am stuck trying to a) find a definition of the Stobswell area and b) trying in general to find definition of the enumeration districts of Dundee.
Every census enumeration book starts with a detailed description of the area it covers. I don't think you can view these on the Scotland's People web site, but you can view them on the microfilms which are widely available. (I'd be very pleased to be told that I am wrong and where they can be viewed online ;-)
If you are in Dundee, go back to the library, or to the Family History Shop in Princes Street, take out the films, and you will be able to read and transcribe the ED descriptions. If you are not in Dundee, go to your nearest LDS Church Family History Centre where you can order and eventually view the relevant films for a small fee. There is a list of LDS FHCs on
www.familysearch.orgDon't assume that an ED with the same number will have the same boundaries in a different census, by the way.
