Other information

The medical terms used in the 19th century are often quite different from those used today. To help interpret death certificates, a glossary of medical terms is included.

Extracts from a number of census returns have been collected. These are in mainly tabular format transcribed from the original documents, and in most cases links are provided from the relevant individual's page. Hyperlinks in the following table lead to the extracts currently available:

Census 1801 1811 1821 1831 1841 1851 1861 1871 1881 1891 1901

Do not place too much significance on the spelling of names and places in these records. Many people did not read or write during this period, so spelling of names was very much at the whim of the census enumerator. Similarly, place names had not been standardised as they are now, and varied in spelling.
