The map and table below show the coverage of the 1851 Census indexes published by the Society. Each volume contains a historical introduction, a detailed parish/folio number listing, and the index of names. For each individual, the index entry shows Surname, Forename, Age and Folio Number. These census volumes were originally published as A5-size booklets, but as each print run has gradually sold out, they have been republished on microfiche.
The numbered areas on the map refer to the published volume numbers in the table below. The white parishes are covered by the Society's unpublished indexes. These can be accessed using the Society's census index search service - see the Name Lookup Services page. The pale green areas are parts of west Kent not indexed by the Society but available from other sources - details are shown in the Society's guide to family history research in west Kent, West Kent Sources (3rd edn. 1998).
