Actual date of 1881 Census?
« on: Tuesday 24 May 05 06:50 BST (UK) »
Does anyone know when the 1881 census was held - what month and day?  Ive been confused as I have 3 families in the same house and thought it to be a mistranscription. However, Ive just discovered a family member whose wife has both the other surnames (her mother & father) and had a child in 1881. Just wondered if they had all the rellies round on the day of the census to wet the baby's head!?

Full list of dates from 1801 to 2001 on my census pages at

The full list also includes the 1915 & 1939 oddities.
