The 1901 Census Database (England and Wales) is Available For Testing
After 8 months of redevelopment, the 1901 Census is back online and available for searching during a limited portion of the day. You can access the database Monday-Saturday from 09.00 to 19.00 hours (GMT+1 hour). This translates to 4 A.M.-2 P.M. EDST in the U.S. According to the site this “testing” period will last a number of weeks. The Census website debuted on January 2nd, 2002. However, it was quickly taken offline after demand exceeded server capacity. The database contains a names index of over 32 million people. It allows you to view images of the actual pages as written by census takers in 1901.
