Introduction
Unfortunately only four censuses have survived prior to the invasion of the Falkland Islands in 1982. The 1851 census should be treated with caution as it was used as a template for subsequent censuses and jury lists and the pencil additions often relate to later years.
From 1911 to 1931 the Census Reports included the Dependencies of the Falkland Islands.
The reports of census were also published in the Falkland Islands Gazette.
The transcriptions are in alphabetical order and contain additional notes made by the National Archivist.
