Index to census records 1837 - 1857
Most Tasmanian census returns have not survived but some are available for the following years and are indexed: 1837, 1838, 1842, 1843, 1848, 1851, and 1857. Many of these years do not have complete returns and the information varies for some years.
The main set of
returns
includes the name of the householder; name of employer of servants; name of person in charge; place of residence, the name of the head of the house or establishment, its proprietor, whether the house was built of stone, brick, or of wood, whether it was complete or unfinished, whether it was inhabited or not; when the proprietor was present, number of persons generally residing there; and the number of these persons who were free. The return also contains a statistical form showing the age (within ranges), sex, religion, occupation, civil condition and trade or calling of the persons residing in the house. These appear in the index with a 'CEN1' reference.
