There are very few '''census records ''' available to help you trace your ancestorsthat lived in India. Censuses were taken, mostly on a regional basis with the earliest comprehensive census taken in 1870/71, but no "as enumerated" data survives. Statistical reports of censuses are available and have been digitised by a consortium of Australian Universities [http://www.chaf.lib.latrobe.edu.au/dcd/default.htmdigitised by a consortium of Australian Universities].

*'''1851 ''' [[Bombay Presidency ]] Mofussil Districts- European Residents only. The data from this census is accessible through [http://www.search.fibis.org/frontis/bin/aps_browse_sources.php?mode=browse_components&id=119&s_id=131 FIBIS Search]. This information was originally on, and is still on the website from Valmay S. Young's British India Family History - website ([http://valmayukuk.tripod.com/id32.html Census Information] ) and further details are available there.

*'''1840 ''' [[Serampore ]] (just north of Calcutta) - this was then [[Danish ]] Territory and a complete census was taken of the population, including natives. The records have been microfilmed by the [[LDS ]] (Mormons). A researcher in Sydney has a list of extracted names of the European & Indo-European/community at the time - most were connected with the Baptist Mission; but there were also about 180 persons described as Indo-[[Portuguese]]; on a religion basis there were 171 Protestants, 209 Roman Catholics and 1 [[Armenian]].

*'''1834 ''' [[Tranquebar ]] - Madras Presidency - again this was Danish Territory at the time and the Danish 'as enumerated' data has been preserved and has been filmed by the [[LDS]].   ==UK Census==A list of individuals that are recorded on the 1881 UK census as born in India/East Indies can be found on [http://www.search.fibis.org/frontis/bin/aps_browse_sources.php?mode=browse_components&id=127&s_id=132 FIBIS Search]. There are over 22,000 names, transcribed by Valmay S. Young. Please note this is not an Indian census. All the individuals were in the UK in 1881.
