Population by Census Return
Please note that Census Returns were only ever as good as the enumerator, except for the 1911 Census where the head of the household completed an individual form for their household group. There is always some doubt as to the accuracy of transcriptions as handwriting was often difficult to interpret. The returns have been checked quite thoroughly and the results in the charts below are as accurate as possible. From the Census returns the following have been extracted:
