Geo-coded British Census Addresses, 1851-1911 (1.0.0) [Data set]. Zenodo. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10473597

Links c. 121 million individuals from historic British census data for 1851 to 1911 (I-CeM) to modern road data (OS Open Roads) and historic street/placenames (GB1900).Enables researchers to map historic British census data at street and property level. This provides a much higher spatial resolution than existing approaches that aggregate individuals to parishes or census registration sub-districts.
