The British Public Records Office has put the 1901 census for England and Wales online. Some pretty legendary folks are among the 32 million countees -- Charlie Chaplin, Florence Nightingale and J.R.R Tolkien to name three. It also lists 90,000 citizens described at the time as "lunatics, imbeciles and feeble-minded people" -- not the kinds of classifications you'd see these days! The site, at www.census.pro.gov.uk, took two years to finish and should be a site to behold for historians and genealogy buffs.
