Census Records - Parishes

After separating census records into groups by county, the British Government subdivided these records into civil parish groups. Many times, but not always, the civil parish name is the same as the local ecclesiastical parish. Researchers should also be aware of boundary line or jurisdictional changes through time. These changes may affect where an ancestor was recorded on the census, so it remains important to search the parishes surrounding the area where your ancestor lived.
