1861 CENSUS DETAILS

The 1861 Census for Wales recorded who spent the night at each property on the night of the 7th of April 1861. Enumeration forms were distributed a couple of days before and the completed forms collected on April 8th. Unfortunately the original householders schedules were destroyed, what we have left today are the enumerators' books into which these details were copied. The enumerators made various marks on these pages to assist with their analysis of the data - these in particular obscure the ages. Only the initials of the pupils were given. It is difficult distinguishing between the letters L, T, S & J and P & R
