From the FHL Description:

The religious census of 1851 was one of churches. The census includes the name of the church or chapel, location by parish, district and county, religious denomination, space or seating available, estimated number of attendance at worship services, name of presiding officer or minister, and address of building.

The Family History Library Catalogue details are listed below. Please be aware that the census lists all of those that submitted returns and is often laborious to identify Mormon congregations. A very valuable piece of research has been performed by Cynthia Doxey. For her article and list of Mormon congregations idenitifed by her please see "The Church in Britain and the 1851 Religious Census," Mormon Historical Studies, Spring 2003, pp.106-138.
