USA Census

1850   1860   1870   1880   1890   1900   1910   1920  1930

The US census followed the same principles as the UK census but later on in the 1900, they required much more personal detail such as nationalization status, ethic colour etc. Also the US census were taken on every 10th year at the start of a decade were as the UK was taken on: 1841, 1851 etc.
I have only extracted the basic information  from the below census reurns.
