What was the population of the UK in 1801?
Correct Answer: 8 million
The first census in the UK was conducted in 1801, recording a population of approximately 8 million people.
By 1851, the population had grown to about 20 million, driven largely by the Industrial Revolution and migration from rural areas to the new industrial towns and cities.
