Hi Susan If the soldier was out of the country - eg in South Africa, then he would not be on the census. If he was still in the country, or I presume, on a ship in harbour he should be on the 1901 census index (bear in mind mistrancriptions) Robin Wainwright - bristol UK ----- Original Message ----- From: "Family Tree" <socfamilytree@telus.net> To: <BOER-WAR-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, April 03, 2005 10:32 PM Subject: [BOER-WAR] British Army 1901 Census > Does anyone know if the British Army kept copies/originals of the 1901 > Census of the men who were in the army at the time of the census? > > If so, does anyone know if this information is available and, if it is, > where it is kept and whether or not it is available? > > Thanks, > Susan in Beautiful BC > > > > ==== BOER-WAR Mailing List ==== > Boer War Reading > http://freespace.virgin.net/anglers.rest/BoerWarReading.htm > > ============================== > Census images 1901, 1891, 1881 and 1871, plus so much more. > Ancestry.com's United Kingdom & Ireland Collection.

Hi Robin, I think my grandfather was still in the British Military Hospital in Cork, Co Cork at the time of the 1901 Census (he received a medical discharge in May 1901). Do you know if the British Army kept a record of this census? I ask as I understand a lot of the 1901 Census returns for/in Ireland are no longer available.
