Usage Tips

Available at the Family History Library, or as a series of booklets, one for each parish, from the Society (9 Glasgow Street, Dumfries, Scotland DG2 9AF), or at the Ewart Library in Dumfries, Scotland.

These are indexes of the 1841 census (the first Scottish census where names of all inhabitants were recorded. Adult ages (those above 15) are rounded to the nearest five years, inhabitants born out of the county had to state country of birth. (England was considered out of country.) Addresses and occupations are given. Because they are alphabetical indexes, family groups do not necessarily stay together.

The booklets for the rural parishes all contain a map of the parish with the locations given in the 1841 census marked. These are often just farms which may have contained a cottage for an employee and his family, as well as a house for the owner or principal tenant. Street addresses are given in the booklets covering the towns. See the Society's Publications List for more details.
