The following announcement was written by findmypast.com:
findmypast.com is delighted to announce that you can now search the complete 1841 Census for all of England, Wales and the Islands on our website.
As with all our online censuses, we have transcribed more fields than any other online census, offering you the widest range of search options thus increasing your chances of finding those elusive ancestors.
The completion of the 1841 census is a notable achievement, and findmypast.com has successfully added another piece of the jigsaw to the family history research puzzle.
From 1841 the census returns for England and Wales were compiled using the same system of registration districts and sub-districts that was used for the registration of births, marriages and deaths.
This means that there is a direct link between the two most important 19th-century sources for family historians and as findmypast.com currently provides the most complete set of BMD indexes for England and Wales it means that we can also offer our customers the opportunity to view these invaluable documents in the same place and simultaneously using our unique cross-database search facilities.
