1911 Census Transcript

1911 CENSUS Sunday April 2nd

This census was different in that each householder filled in their own details so we can see their handwriting. It also shows how long couples have been married, how many children they had and how many had died and how many basic rooms each house had. Usefully there is also an index which gives us a better idea of the route the enumerator took when he collected the papers which helps identify the location of some of the properties. But annoyingly there are lots of gaps re actual addresses as previous censuses. Eastcourt Farm and Copyhold Farm are mentioned in the enumerator’s description of the district but are not identified in the schedule.

I have downloaded each householder’s sheet along with the index. These make a large group of files so if anyone wants to see an original, perhaps it’s best if you contact me on [email protected] At this time Ham’s postal address was Hungerford, Berkshire. Statistics: 101 males and 92 females making a total of 197 residents. 46 Dwellings, 6 uninhabited and 3 buildings not used as dwellings.

Civil Parish of Ham. Ecclestiastical Parish of Ham All Saints. Rural District Ramsbury. Parliamentary Division Eastern or Devizes Division of Wilts.
