Portrait of the accused, Edmund Walter Pook

We usually search census records to look for useful information such as where a person was on census night, as well as the names of the other members of their household. Using TheGenealogist for our research between 1871 to 1911 comes with an added benefit in that we can see the location of the property linked up to useful georeferenced maps in the Map Explorer tool. Also, TheGenealogist has now significantly improved the image quality and therefore readability of all its 1851,1861,1871 and 1891 census record images by ‘deep zooming’ the images to have five times the resolution of previous images and providing the highest resolution and quality of English and Welsh census images to be seen anywhere online.
