Census Websites

[Leigh Anthony Ross]

I'm not sure if this is avaliable on the internet because I have been searching for a while, but is there any good websites that have census information about Titanic Passengers? If here is it would prove most helpful, as I have been looking for one for quite a while. Thank-you.

In perticular any sites that have family members up to present descendants.

As the Titanic's passengers came from a number of nations, you'd be hard pressed to find a site online that had all this information compiled. There's quite a bit of it in the ET bios, but you may need to trawl through the records yourself.

You can find, for example, the 1891 British census on-line:

freecen.rootsweb.com

Eventually Rootsweb aims to transcribe all the census entries for England.

The Public Records Office (PRO) has also recently made the 1901 census available on-line. You can do a basic search for free, but will need to pay to see the full details for the entries:

census.pro.gov.uk

Census UK has some resources:

1881 Census

Census records for 1851, 1881 1891 1901 and the Vital Record Index

web.archive.org

Senan Molony published a good many census returns for the Irish crew and passengers in his book The Irish Aboard Titanic. Here's some on-line information:

Irish Census Records

Census returns for 1851, 1881 and the Vital Record Index

web.archive.org

Here's a US site, although I've never used it and can't vouch for it:

The USGenWeb Census Project®

I'm not sure what you mean by wanting sites that have family members 'up to present descendants'. Census returns are usually sealed for a lenghty period after they are compiled. In the UK, for example, this is for 100 years, which is why the 1901 returns have only just been published.

Thank-you very much Inger, I did realise it would be hard to find a record of all passengers but you seem to have found quite a bit

 

[Leigh Anthony Ross]

what I meant by "up to present descendants" is any websites that have family trees for any passengers with descendants that are still alive.

If people are researching their family origins and have Titanic passengers among them, you may find the trees on something like familysearch.org...but that would also depend if the researcher submitted his info for others to see. And even if he does submit his family tree, does not mean it is accurate. You can try rootsweb.com too (go to the World Connect part). Just remember that sometimes the info is not all verified with documents.

Sadly, the 1891 UK Census as linked to above by Inger is actually quite incomplete, as it's an ongoing transcription project.

However, if you follow the link below, you can search the ENTIRE 1880 US, 1881 UK, and 1881 Canada census, 100% free.

Hi Leigh,
Although 2nd class passengers Charles Valentine Clarke and his wife Ada Maria do not have "direct descendants" they are related to me. He was my father's cousin. This makes him my "first cousin once removed" Our family website is www.clarkeology.com
