Census enumerators' books (CEBs) are the primary historical source for
the study of family and local history from 1851 to 1901. Copies of the original
CEBs are available nationally from the Family Records Centre and in many local
libraries and archives. Selections of many of these CEBs have been digitised,
and some of these are available from the History Data Service. These are not
all formatted in the same way, so they may not be comparable.
The enriched version of the 1881 Census is available to UK higher and further
education users through CHCC
