1911 United Kingdom census

The total population of the United Kingdom was approximately 45,221,000, with 36,070,000 recorded in England and Wales,[1] 4,761,000 in Scotland,[1] and 4,390,000 in Ireland.

[2] The census covered England, Wales, Scotland, the Channel Islands, and ships of the Royal Navy at sea and in ports abroad.

It was the first to record full details of British Army personnel stationed overseas instead of requiring just a simple headcount.

[3] This census was subject to protests by women seeking the right to vote in the UK,[4] with some suffragettes like Joan Cather refusing to fill in the forms, which were returned with sloganned stickers.

[6] Emily Davison hid herself in a cupboard at the Palace of Westminster, becoming, when found, listed on the form as an occupant of the building.
