1861 CENSUS
INDEXES FOR
MONMOUTHSHIRE

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

ORDER OF LISTING

In the indexes, people are listed in order of forenames within surnames and, where there is more than one person with the same name, they appear in descending order of age. Where a name isn't clear, and it hasn't been possible to clarify it from any other source, it's preceded by a question mark. If the handwriting of the surname is ambiguous, leading to alternative interpretations, then the entry has been indexed under each of them (again preceded by a question mark).

CENSUS PLACES

Persons are listed not within the parish in which the entry appears but within their Registration Sub-District, with the parish quoted preceding the Public Record Office reference (Piece number/ folio number/ page number). We believe that a single list is generally easier for you to refer to than separate lists for each parish, especially if you only know the district in which your ancestor(s) may have been living, or in which he or she was born (possibly from a certificate). Indexes for the larger Sub-Districts are split alphabetically by surname into more than one volume, as shown in the list below: please give all the details quoted when ordering, to avoid errors (e.g. "please send me vol.31 of the 1861 index, Tredegar Sub-District, M - R)".

If you know where your ancestor(s) may have been living, but don't know what Registration Sub-District it came under, our List of Parishes will show you. And, if the place isn't listed there, we've also compiled a List of other Places in Monmouthshire: this shows small villages, local districts or hamlets that were part of larger parishes, and also gives some alternative spellings, and English/Welsh equivalents.

MISSING PAGES

In the case of the 1861 census, not all the books have survived at the PRO and therefore details of some parishes may not be available, or may be incomplete. Where this is the case, the List of Contents for that volume of the index shows details of what is apparently missing. We also show below those parishes which are affected by any missing pages, and the number of entries that we believe are involved.

The 1861 Census Index is also available on CD-ROM, price £10.00 plus postage and packing:
