Talk:1881 United Kingdom census

Multiple censuses, rather than just the one
It is my understanding that while there was one common census day, that the reality is that it is multiple censuses — England and Wales; Scotland; Channel Islands; and Ireland. Well at least prior to 1920 when that year's Census Act came into being. My understanding is that the forms and instructions are different. Maybe the article should reflect that. — billinghurst  sDrewth  00:50, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
