| When 25 year old miner, John Bertram (Bert) Chatfield, set off to war he left behind his pregnant 17 year old wife and young son, Billy. I cannot imagine how bewildered my grandmother, young Ethel, must have felt when she received news that her husband was Missing in Action and subsequently listed as Killed in the Field. However, if one searches Australian Military Records one will find no evidence of John Chatfield's existence……….etc.. |

Would you like to include U.S. maps in your family history projects, but can’t find what you want? Would you like to add maps to a book you plan to publish but cannot find anything that isn’t copyrighted? Do you need a simple, prepared map that you can print at home, at school, or in the office? A service provided by the U.S. Government will provide maps for you. Best of all, there are no copyrights on the maps. You can use them in commercial books as well as for personal purposes.

What You Can Learn From British Census Records
- 1841
The first British census to ask detailed questions about individuals, the 1841 census contains a bit less information than subsequent censuses. For each individual enumerated in 1841, you can find the full name, age (rounded down to the nearest 5 for everyone 15 or older), sex, occupation, and whether they were born in the same county in which they were enumerated. - 1851-1911
The questions asked in the 1851, 1861, 1871, 1881, 1891, 1901 and 1911 census enumerations are generally the same and include the first, middle (usually just the initial), and last name of each individual; their relationship to the head of household; marital status; age at last birthday; sex; occupation; the county and parish of birth (if born in England or Wales), or the country if born elsewhere; and the full street address for each household. The birth information makes these censuses especially helpful for tracing ancestors born prior to the onset of civil registration in 1837.
Census Dates
The actual census date varied from census to census, but is important in helping to determine an individual's probably age. The dates of the censuses are as follows:1841 - 6 June; 1851 - 30 March; 1861 - 7 April; 1871 - 2 April; 1881 - 3 April; 1891 - 5 April; 1901 - 31 March 1911 - 2 April
