Transcriptions of Italians living in England from the 1841, 1851, 1861, 1871, 1881, 1891 Censuses in PDF

These transcriptions are of people whose birthplace or nationality is given as Italy or Italian. The names have many spelling mistakes which occurred at the original time of recording, so it's worth trying different spellings for an ancestor you're looking for. Where a name is known to have been recorded incorrectly, the correct spelling is added beneath the original entry.

Books & CDs

Italians In The 1901 CD-ROM

Our publication contains over 20,000 Italians extracted from the 1901 census - that's everyone who gave their place of birth as Italy. You can browse all the entries to search for those elusive relatives whose names have been mis-transcribed, and sort the data by age, area, occupation or forename. £5 for members; £10 for non-members. As email membership costs just £5 as well, you can join the Society and get the CD for just £10. To order the CD, download the Order Form, or order online at The Parish Chest

Our Births, Marriages and Deaths index

Released on 1 May; the CD has nearly 50,000 BMDs of Italians and Anglo-Italians. Many of our mis-spelt surnames can be found here - very useful for spotting variations. Available to members for £5, or £10 to non-members.
