Читать книгу Collins Tracing Your Family History - Ryan Tubridy, Anthony Adolph - Страница 115

Each enumeration book (see here) starts with a brief description of the area covered, usually street by street, and also always includes details of the parish, town or borough. Censuses provide a splendid snap-shot of your family on a specific evening in the past showing your ancestors in the context of their family, extended family and neighbourhood. But do remember that the records are just that. If someone was away from the household, even for just that one night, they were supposed to be enumerated where they actually were, not where they normally lived.
