Census
Indexes 1841 Bramley |

The census returns for 1841 were taken on the
evening of June 7th and the area is covered by film HO 107/1342 - 1343. The
data is presented here by its original Enumeration District (ED). Each
ED has a description of the area covered.
The 'Born' column only contains an entry if the person is born ouside of Yorkshire.
Enumerators were given instructions about how to enter ages. They were
supposed to round down the age to the nearest 5 year for every person
over the age of 15. Not all enumerators did so and many EDs are a mixture
of correct ages and ages rounded down. The Calverley census ED1 is an
example of this. It starts off with the true age, then some ages are
"corrected" to the rounded down age, for a few households
after rounded down ages are given, then again the enumerator reverts
again to the correct age. This can make it difficult to know when an
age ending in 0 or 5 is the true age or rounded down, except by comparing to the 1851 census.
Enumerators were also instructed to enter only the first name. Luckily for us, some ignored this or at least put an initial.
