1871 Census for
Dorset
After separating census records into groups by county, the British Government
subdivided these records into civil parish groups. Many times, but not
always, the civil parish name is the same as the local ecclesiastical parish.
Researchers should also be aware of boundary line or jurisdictional changes
through time. These changes may affect where an ancestor was recorded on
the census, so it remains important to search the parishes surrounding
the area where your ancestor lived.
