{{man warn| Other methods of recording UK Census data |This wiki page describes one possible one way of recording census data.

The Census Gramplet uses a '''different''' approach and provides some automation to the storage of the data.

In addition, in Gramps 3.4, it becomes possible to attach the image of the Census page to the Citation record (known as the Source Reference below), instead of attaching the Source Reference to the media as shown in illustration 5 below. The disadvantages of doing this are described in [[GEPS_023:_Storing_data_from_large_sources#Record_each_page_as_a_source_reference|GEPS 023 ]] (the alternative method towards the end of that section), and form part of the motivation for the introduction of 'Citations' in Gramps 3.4. }}

This guide explains how to use Gramps to record all of the information that a 1881 UK Census return contains about a household. It demonstrates how to enter Repositories, Sources, People and Families. How to link them together to ensure that every piece of information is attributed back to its source. It also explains how to use the Clipboard and "drag and drop" to speed up data entry.
