Pre 1841 Census documents for Thanet / Kingsgate
« on: Tuesday 20 October 20 04:39 BST (UK) »
Do any Census documents exist before 1841 in the Thanet / Kingsgate area?
If so where would I find them?

As far as I know, the pre-1841 census was only a headcount, without names. Before that there may be census-like records such as militia lists and tax rolls. For example for Bucks there's a good militia list called the Posse Comitatus of 1797 from the Bucks Records Society. For Kent there's the hearth tax of 1664:
