This page is for Guided Research: It is for those people who do not know their ancestor's county of origin. The purpose of the page is to give a step by step guide to England and Wales Census records. It is also to guide them to the important information found on the census. Use as an example: https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/GuidedResearch:Mexico

To find the town where your ancestor lived:
Option A: If your ancestor lived in England between 1841 and 1931 use The England and Wales Censuses. CENSUS COLLECTION PAGE Option B: If your ancestor was born after 1 July 1837 use Civil Registration records. Be aware that these records may be sporadic until 1874.
