Census returns and electoral registers

The census returns name the occupants of each house on the night of the census from 1841 onwards. Our guide Tracing Your Family Tree has further information on using and accessing census returns.

Norwich registers of electors, 1920-80, are in N/TC 66 in the online catalogue. Registers of electors for the County are in C/ERO, on microfiche from 1845-1915 and on microfilm from 1918-1974.

The Norfolk Heritage Centre in Norwich also has a series of parliamentary electoral registers from 1834, with gaps. Download a list of the electoral registers held at the Norfolk Heritage Centre (PDF) [57KB].
