Description: "Census shows how to interpret intricate details of your ancestors' lives. It explores how and why information was gathered on names, addresses, family relationships and occupations, revealing why 'mysteries' occur and what may be hidden between the lines. It traces the unique features of the 1911 census, to be released from 2009 onwards - the first to feature our ancestors' handwriting, investigate 'fertility in marriage' and be disrupted by Suffragettes - as well as the personalities and procedures that brought the early censuses to life."--BOOK JACKET.
