Census records in Wales are a key resource for genealogical research, documenting family histories since 1801. The first few censuses (1801–1831) contained only statistical data, but from 1841 onward, they included names, ages, birthplaces, occupations, and household relationships. Conducted every ten years, these records help trace Welsh ancestry, migration patterns, and family structures. The most recent publicly available census is from 1921, with the 1939 Register serving as an alternative for wartime records. Alongside parish registers and civil registration, Welsh census data is essential for uncovering family connections and understanding demographic changes over time.
