At the census of 1851 householders were asked to state the county and town or parish against the names of those born in the county of enumeration; while a statement of country of birth was asked in respect of those born in another part of Great Britain, in Ireland, the British Colonies, the East Indies or in foreign parts, and British subjects born in foreign parts had to be specified as such. From 1861 British subjects by birth born in foreign parts had to be distinguished from those who were naturalised, and from 1901 country of nationality, as distinct from birth, had to be given. The Naturalisation Act 1870 states that "any person born within the dominions of Her Majesty is a natural-born subject, as is any person born out of Her Majesty's dominions of a father being a British Subject. A married woman shall be deemed to be a subject of the state of which her husband is for the time being a subject." http://www.movinghere.org.uk/search/catalogue.asp?RecordID=77092&ResourceTypeI D=2&sequence=5 Regards Stan Mapstone
