The 1891 census was conducted on a house-by-house basis on 5 April 1891.

Until 2003 the General Record Office was part of the Public Record Office and had its offices first in St. Catherine's House, Chancery Lane, in central London, and later in the Family Records Centre, Islington. References to the General Record Office (GRO) and the Public Record Office (PRO) may appear in older documentation. For more information on the National Archives and the General Record Office, see Wikipedia

Another article in Wikipedia includes a "List of UK censuses" giving the date each census was held and the changes to questions asked.

Scotland and Northern Ireland maintain their census records separately.
