Censuses have been held every ten years since 1801, but the detailed returns, naming members of each household, did not start until 1841. In this census exact ages were given for children under 15yrs., but adult ages were rounded down to the nearest five years. I have some census entries for Northumberland and Co. Durham in 1841, but these are far from complete. The 1841 census was taken on June 6th. 1841 census for Jop(b)lin(g)s.
The census for 1851 gave exact ages and more details. Be
aware that people lied about, or were mistaken about, their ages, and
enumerators often did not guess spelling correctly. Many census returns
are very difficult to decipher and mistakes are often made. March 30th was
the date of this census.
1851 census
The 1861 census was taken on April 7th & I have the following Jop(b)lin(g) entries: 1861 census. April was again the month for the 1871 census, but this time on the second. 1871 census
The 1881 census (April 3rd.) is available at the Family Research Center and the LDS have also issued the census on a series of CD`s. My index, arranged alphabetically, can be viewed here UK Census Index 1881 Jop(b)ling.
The 1901 census is online at the PRO and an index compiled by Malcolm Jobling and associates can be seen by clicking on Census Index 1901 Jop(b)ling (arranged in households) or the same index arranged alphabetically. Alphabetical. For the Joblin/Joplin spelling, see 1901 Jop(b)liN, arranged in households or Alphabetical. I have started checking on the people in the 1901 census are in the 1881 census and the results can be found HERE. In another file I have added the details from the BDM certificates I hold to the relevant people in the 1901 census.
The 1891 census for Scotland does not have many Jop(b)lin(g) entries. Scottish 1891 census More
Other countries also had a census. There were English Jop(b)ling settlers in the USA in the 17th century and the families there are well established, but there were some entries where the person was `born in England`. North USA Census (persons in the US census who were born in the UK). There was also a census in Canada Canadian Census (in households). These can be seen in full at the Family Research Center.
