The US Census counts the population for each state, which is the basis for Congressional representation in the House of Representatives. Changes in the number of residents for a state could increase or decrease its number of Representatives.

Is there a recognized abbreviation suffix or prefix for census as in 1841 census?

US censuses are done every ten years (1840, 1850, etc). I doubt you will find a census for 1841. To find abbreviations, suffixes, prefixes or other symbols used in the census forms, use Google to find census forms for the years you want (1840 census form, etc). Or you could Google "free census forms" and find websites where you can download blank census forms free of charge,
