Extraction work done by Lynne Isenor

The following list is not in alphabetical order but in order of how the census taker encountered the households. To locate a specific name use the "find in top window" option (or equivalent) from your web browser menu.

The categories given are name (first and last), relationship to head of household, marital status, age, occupation, place of birth. Some of the major landowners have additional notes about their estates. (See bottom of page for explanation of some of the abbreviations used.) A question mark denotes that the word or letter is illegible or very difficult to read correctly from the microfilm.

This census is divided into two parts: the parish, and the village.
