Census records of the 2.4 million people recorded as living in Wales on the night of Sunday 2 April 1911 are now available to search and download on 1911.co.uk.

Records for the whole of England are already available, with the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands, as well as naval and overseas military records, to be made available over the coming months.

The census reveals fascinating information about the family history of some of Wales' most famous sons and daughters, including Richard Burton, Dylan Thomas, Charlotte Church and Tom Jones.
