The CCRI microdata are based on a five percent sample of the Canadian population as recorded in the 1911 census. The basic sample unit is the dwelling, as defined by the census. The sample includes all responses recorded on the population schedule for all individuals residing in each sampled dwelling. For each census, the main sample covers smaller dwellings with no more than thirty residents. The CCRI microdata facilitate research on individuals, families, households, and communities caught up in the complex transformation of Canadian society which took place during the first half of the twentieth century. Ultimately, these data represent the raw materials with which census statistics can be produced. Confidential data from subsequent census enumerations are available from Statistics Canada's Research Data Centres.

1911 District Electoral Division (DED) map of Ireland. In 2001, the names of DEDs changed to what are now known as Electoral Divisions. There were 3,673 DEDs in Ireland in 1911 and they are the smallest legally defined administrative areas in Ireland. DEDs can be aggregated to form what are known as Urban and Rural Districts (URDs). URDs were administrative divisions in Ireland created in 1899. There were 309 URD's in Ireland in 1911 . This boundary has been generated by aggregation and dissolving boundaries based on common value of URD code. Slivers and gaps removed in this processing.The boundaries established for these areas were created from scanned maps and some boundaries were provided from other organizations who previously worked on this. Areas stated on the census tables were used to quality check the areas of each DED.

Canadian census data from 1911.

This data is from the CCRI (Canadian Century Research Infrastructure). The data from these enumerations will enable research on the individuals, families, households, and communities that experienced the complex transformation of Canada. Census data was collected through survey questions answered by every individual in the population in each of 1911, 1921, 1931, 1941, and 1951. This CCRI microdata represents a 5% sample (371551) of the 1911 population.

The Integrated Census Microdata (I-CeM) project has produced a standardised, integrated dataset of most of the censuses of Great Britain for the period 1851 to 1921: England and Wales for 1851-1861, 1881-1921 and Scotland for 1851-1901 and 1921, making available to academic researchers, detailed information at parish level about everyone resident in Great Britain collected at most of the decennial censuses between 1851-1921. Users should note that the 1871 England and Wales census data and 1911 Scottish census data are not available via I-CeM.

The original digital data has been coded and standardised. In addition, the original text and numerical strings have always been preserved in separate variables, so that researchers can go back to the original transcription. However, users should note that name and address details for individuals are not currently included in the database; for reasons of commercial sensitivity, these are held under Special Licence access conditions under SN 7856 for data relating to England, Wales and Scotland, 1851-1911 and SN 9281 for data relating to England and Wales, 1921.

This study (7481) relates to the available anonymised data for 1851-1911, i.e. all available years except 1921. Data for England and Wales 1921 are available under SN 9280. The data are available via an online system at https://icem.ukdataservice.ac.uk/

Latest edition information

For the second edition (June 2024), the 1851-1911 data have been redeposited with amended and enhanced data values.

CCRI Selected Published Tables Data Files: For each census from 1911-1951, a series of published volumes and tables were produced by the Dominion of Canada's statistical agency. From those published books, the CCRI made a selection of 23 tables which contain information regarding particular topics such as: population (male and female counts), number of dwellings, households and families, as well as religion and origin of the people. For 1911, selected tables from published volumes (1 & 2) included: Area and Population of Canada by Provinces, Districts and Subdistricts in 1911 and Population in 1901 Conjugal Condition of the People, classified as single, married, widowed, divorced, legally separated and not given, by districts and sub-districts Religions of the People Origins of the People by sub-districts Literacy of total population 5 years of age and over

This study includes two components of the research infrastructure developed by CCRI for the 1911 Census of Canada: selected digitized published tables of aggregate data and a reconstruction of the census geography.

This dataset is designed to be used with the Integrated Census Micro-data (ICeM). It weights to adjust for the number of missing women in each Registration Sub-District (RSD) for every census year. More information is given in 'Weights to adjust for missing women in ICeM database 1851-1911 README' file.

This data set reconstructs the census compilation and dissemination geography of the 1911 Canadian Census at the census division (CD) and census subdivision (CSD) level of geography.

The shapefiles (.shp) were derived from a comprehensive geodatabase, as part of the Canadian Century Research Infrastructure (CCRI). Detailed water polygons were replaced with a selection of major lakes in this version, indicated with the abbreviation MW in the file name, which stands for ‘major water’. These data are a part of a geographical framework constructed to enable the location, selection, aggregation, and analysis of census data, for census enumerations between 1911 and 1951.

Single household enumeration form

This Special Licence access dataset contains names and addresses from the Integrated Census Microdata (I-CeM) dataset of the censuses of Great Britain for the period 1851 to 1911. These data are made available under Special Licence (SL) access conditions due to commercial sensitivity.

The anonymised main I-CeM database that complements these names and addresses is available under SN 7481. It comprises the Censuses of Great Britain for the period 1851-1911; data are available for England and Wales for 1851-1861 and 1881-1911 (1871 is not currently available for England and Wales) and for Scotland for 1851-1901 (1911 is not currently available for Scotland). The database contains over 180 million individual census records and was digitised and harmonised from the original census enumeration books. It details characteristics for all individuals resident in Great Britain at each of the included Censuses. The original digital data has been coded and standardised; the I-CeM database has consistent geography over time and standardised coding schemes for many census variables.

This dataset of names and addresses for individual census records is organised per country (England and Wales; Scotland) and per census year. Within each data file each census record contains first and last name, street address and an individual identification code (RecID) that allows linking with the corresponding anonymised I-CeM record. The data cannot be used for true linking of individual census records across census years for commercial genealogy purposes nor for any other commercial purposes. The SL arrangements are required to ensure that commercial sensitivity is protected. For information on making an application, see the Access section.

The data were updated in February 2020, with some files redeposited with longer field length limits. Users should note that some name and address fields are truncated due to the limits set by the LDS project that transcribed the original data. No more than 10,000 records out of some 210 million across the study should be affected. Examples include:

• England and Wales:
  • 1851 - truncated at the 24th character (maximum I-CeM field length 95 characters)
  • 1881 - truncated at the 16th character (maximum I-CeM field length 50 characters).
• Scotland: for 1851‐71, truncations affect less than 0.01% of all addresses and for 1851 around 1% at most
  • 1851 - truncated at the 70th character
  • 1861 - truncated at the 76th character
  • 1871 - truncated at the 82th character
  • 1881 - truncated at the 50th character.

Further information about I-CeM can be found on the I-CeM Integrated Microdata Project and I-CeM Guide webpages.

The object of this study was to examine changes in industrial employment in Tayside on a detailed local basis with the purpose of more accurately revealing the nature of general trends in employment over a period of time.
The 1911 census was the first in which information on both industry and occupation was secured in sufficient detail to make possible at least an approximate comparison with later censuses. The 1951 census was the last in which a 100 per cent coverage was made of industrial employment and occupations. Data derived from returns made for the census of 1911 indicate the character of each local economy established in the course of the 19th century. Changes since then are indicated by similar data from the census of 1951.

These digital boundaries were created by the Great Britain Historical GIS Project and form part of the Great Britain Historical Database, which contains a wide range of geographically-located statistics, selected to trace the emergence of the north-south divide in Britain and to provide a synoptic view of the human geography of Britain, generally at sub-county scales.

They represent the boundaries of Registration Districts in England and Wales as in use at the date of each Census of Population between 1851 and 1911, 1911 being the last census to report extensively on these units.

This dataset is comprised of selected Division level census counts for the dominion of Newfoundland, Canada derived from the published census reports of 1911, 1935 and 1945. It forms part of a larger project entitled 'The Orange Order in the 20th century: A study in social change'. This wider study explores the relative impact of techno-economic, cultural and institutional factors on Orange Order membership and political influence in twentieth century Scotland, Canada and Northern Ireland

Please note: this study does not include information on named individuals and would therefore not be useful for personal family history research.
