This is the State Records NSW index to the 1841 census which required every householder, employer of servants and proprietor and occupier of land in the Colony of NSW to complete the census schedule on the second day of March 1841. As the returns record only the name of the head of the household, the names of the other people resident in the household are not identified. Also, for a number of places such as the Lachlan and Liverpool districts there are only statistical returns - no individual names are listed. Microfilm copies of the NSW 1841 Census are available in the Family History Service: AO2222-2223 & 2508-2509.
