The Census at Sea

Update with Helen Tovey

To find relatives on board ship at the time of the 1861, 1871 or 1901 Censuses, try the Census ship lists at www.thegenealogist.co.uk, which includes 142,000 entries and lists ship name, surname and forename, age, marital status, rank, place of birth, where the ship is docked and a CD reference number: the original page images are available. Click on the ship icon to view the full crew list.
