This census was the first to require the names of all members of a household to be recorded along with a generalized statement of place of birth and the provision for the rounding down of ages over 15 by 5 years to the nearest 0 or 5, e.g. a person aged 59 was to be recorded as aged 55 and a person aged 23 was to be recorded as aged 20. Occupation was also included but no relationships of the individuals within a household to the head of the house was made until 1851. The nominal census returns continued decennially to 1911 being the latest census to be released to the public arena.
