The Parish of East Hendred - 1821 and 1831 Censuses.

The first census for the whole of Britain (excluding Ireland) was taken in 1801 and thereafter a census occurred every ten years.  Before the census of 1841 the government of the day required purely statistical data and individual names were not recorded as part of the return.  However some enumerators compiled lists of households as an aid to compiling the census return and such lists sometimes survive. This publication contains a transcription of two such lists for the parish of East Hendred, one for each of the censuses of 1821 and 1831.  Both lists include householders' names together with the number of males and females within the household.  The 1821 list further divides males and females into age groups.  The Clergyman's Schedule for the 1811 Census has also survived and is included.
