Tarling U.K. Censuses


  There were censuses in the UK in 1841, 1851, 1861, 1871, 1881, 1891 and 1901that you can consult.   We have collected as many Tarling entries as we can onto the Tarling database and we would be delighted to receive any more.

    The main places to go to search and get copies of these censuses are ancestry.com (for which you need to pay a hefty subscription), or the Family Records Centre in Clerkenwell (London) - and you need to visit them in person.

    Further details and links to our resources for these censuses, by date:

1841 Note that the 1841 Census is limited to name, age rounded down to the nearest 5 years for those over 15 and Y/N for "whether born in same county".  Many of the microfilms are very difficult to read and there are very few surname or street indexes. Mike Wallington has collected a number of 1841 Essex Tarling entries - all available on the Tarling myfamily.com site.
1851 The 1851 census is the first one to include relationship to head of household, age and place of birth. There are surname indexes for some counties and villages, and street indexes for some large cities. We have tried to start collecting TARLING entries for as many as possible - see this page.
1861 Full census, a very few surname indexes and some street indexes. In Jan 2005 we have just added the index for Tarling entries in a large number of Essex districts to the Tarling myfamily.com site.
1871 Full census, a substantial index on ancestry.com and the Tarling myfamily.com site contains a full index to Tarling entires.
1881 There is a full surname index and the entire census has now been released on CD-ROM, so this should be more widely available (e.g. at Family History Centres, local records offices and large libraries).
For an index to Tarling in 1881 see our RootsWeb hosted Tarling 1881 index page WARNING it's 220KB, may be slow. The Tarling myfamily.com site contains an extended full index to all Tarling entires in England and Wales.
1891 Full census, a substantial index on ancestry.com and the Tarling myfamily.com site contains a full index to Tarling entires.
1901 Full census, a substantial index on ancestry.com and the Tarling myfamily.com site contains an extended full index to all Tarling entires in England and Wales.
