Queen Victoria's Census Form
Here are two copies of Queen Victoria’s census form from 1861.
The first one is a copy of the original and the following one a
translation that may be easier for you to read. (I can’t guarantee
that several of the names or places are correct!)
Use the census form to answer the following questions:
1) How old was Queen Victoria in April 1861?
2) Where in the UK was the census form filled in?
3) Where was Queen Victoria born?
4) How old was Prince Arthur in 1861?
5) What was the occupation of
a) Henry Hilfolye?
b) Eugine Thine?
6) Queen Victoria had nine children but only seven were present on Census Day
1861. Use the following link to the family tree to find out who was missing:

7) Use the photograph of the royal family group taken in 1857 from the following
link, to identify which child that you think is in the photograph but not present
on Census Day 1861: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Victoria
8) Using the same family tree as in the previous question, find out who Queen
Victoria’s mother was and who became king after her death.
9) How long after this census was taken in April 1861 did Albert die? Use the
following link to help: www.royal.gov.uk/output/Page118.asp
