Glemsford Census 1901

Transcribed

The transcripts are in Microsoft Excel (Office 2003) format.
These are transcripts of the complete Census for Glemsford in 1901, offered as a service to anyone who might wish to search them.
I have, as far as makes sense, retained the format, spelling and (some) apparent errors of the original returns, except that, to make searching and sorting easier, I have created separate columns for Male and Female as far as Age is concerned, rather than for relationships with the Head of the Household.
As far as spelling is concerned, even within the returns, "Coconut", for example, takes on many forms, normally either "cocoa-" or "coker-".

Sometimes, the original entry on the return has been amended or even overwritten at a later date.
This normally applies to job descriptions where the original entry seems to have departed from some accepted set of decriptions!
To avoid confusion I have not always included the amendment, but, where I have, I have not always distinguished between the two entries.

Where there have been problems of legibility, I have normally (but not always) marked these with an asterisk. Otherwise, I have made a "best guess" - hence my disclaimer!

In district 5, I have prefixed the Schedule number with a 5, for ease of sorting should anyone wish to combine the files.


I hope my abbreviations and notes are comprehensible. Please let me know ...

For the purpose of the Census, the village was divided into two districts, 5 & 6.

District 5 began on Hunts Hill and followed the village road via Tye Green to Bells Lane, Church Gate, Low Street, back to Brook Street and Fair Green, and included Fern Hill and Plum Street.

District 6 started on Workhouse Lane, (Flax Lane today), and basically included all the "lower" part of the village - Egremont Street, Skates Hill, Angel Lane, New Cut, Lower Road and some of the outlying farms in that area. It also included parts of Tye Green and Hunts Hill.

The material is published in good faith and has been checked as far as possible, but I can accept no responsibiltiy for any errors of accuracy, omission or otherwise.
