> The Birmingham City Archives collection of Education Department records

> we are interested to learn if it is the only series of its kind in the
> country.
>
> The census is of the whole city (the city being arranged into various
> registration sub-districts) and includes the names of children, dates of
> birth, address, school attending, parents names and occupations, previous
> addresses (if recently moved) and remarks (usually relating to change of
> address). The census appears to have been taken annually.
