1861 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.
