Amanda, I'd love to find out about earlier census records too. My line comes from Bristol.

So what happened to these early pre-1841 censuses? Do they exist still somewhere? is the information in them too crude to be useful perhaps? Maybe they are available through mormon Family history libraries on film. Any information would be great!
