STBH Census Codes 1891 Census
Our school Intranet Site has a copy of this database using DBASEIV and Lotus Approach. The codes used are identical to the ones in this simpler version. If you would like the results of more complex searches than are possible on this site please contact us giving exact details of your required searches. Although every effort has been made to construct an accurate database of census information, there may be errors.
The following fields are used:_
Schedule Number: Each house visited in a certain order. This number is the order in which the house was visited. It does not correspond to the actual street number. It is useful to find whether two families lived in the same house. Missing numbers refer to houses that were not occupied.
