The Manx Census

Isle of Man Census 1841-1901

Census Look-up

I am able to look up an individual in the censuses for 1841-1901. If you would like a look-up send me an e-mail giving me the census year, the full name of the individual and their approximate age. Any additional identifying material is appreciated (especially for the more common names) e.g. names of parents or siblings. Maiden names are usually not very useful.

Census Indices

As all censuses are now accessable on-line I am no longer making printed indices available.
