I recently went to the Suffolk RO & couldn't believe my luck when they had copies of the 1811, 1821 & 1831 census returns for Benhall, where my ancestors came from.
The later two were very basic but the 1811 one contained names of all the heads of house, whether their occupation was agriculture, trade or neither & the numbers of male & females in each house.
Not bad for such an early census! I think I've found my 5x great grandfather on it. I got a copy of it just in case.
