Norfolk History - Census Surname Index

This surname index is a transcript of the surnames which occur in each parish on the Census for 1841. It is produced purely as an aid to researchers, as the Census for 1841 is currently not indexed. We have a few parishes indexed in full and they are listed at the bottom of this page.

While every effort has been taken to ensure accuracy, please note handwriting is at times hard to decipher and some entries were faded so absolute accuracy is not guaranteed.

If you can clarify a name etc or find an error, please contact us at
