The United Kingdom Census 1891 recorded the total population of England, Scotland and Wales as over thirty-three million; it was the first Census to ask about the number of rooms in a household, as well as the first to allow women to undertake it, and to ask Welsh inhabitants whether they spoke Welsh.
