Date of Census: 30th March 1851 (Night of)
In the 1851 and subsequent censuses, a schedule was delivered to every household before the night of the census, completed by the householder, and collected by the enumerator after the night of the census. The enumerator then copied the details from the individual schedules into his Schedule Book. (For the 1841 census, the enumerator visited every house in his enumeration district, completing his Enumeration Schedule as he went.)
Abbreviations: SN - Schedule number; Cond - Condition as to marriage; Age - Age last birthday; do - ditto; Mar - married; U - unmarried; W - Widow; Widr - Widower; Daur - Daughter; G - Grand.
Essex: The Essex Society for Family History has published
many surname indexes. The ones for Braintree, Halstead have been
checked against our own searches of the census and found to agree;
many of the folio numbers below come from them.
