Parish of Chardstock 1911 Census Rg14/2501 PARISH OF CHARDSTOCK 1911 CENSUS RG14/2501 The census was carried out on the night of Sunday April 2nd, 1911 and followed the format of the previous censuses taken since 1871. The head of the household still had to be defined as did the relationship to the head of each person staying in the house that night. The gender of each person was also recorded. Accurate ages were required throughout and were taken from the person’s last birthday. For infants under one year, the age was recorded either in months (m), weeks (w) or days (d). “Where Born” had to be completed by giving the county and town or parish of birth. The expanded list of infirmities introduced in 1871 was retained, but has been blanked out on the copies of the census now available in the public domain. The number of rooms occupied by each household had to be recorded. The Occupational Status of each person (if applicable) had to be shown as Employer (Er), Worker (W) or Own Account (OA). Also people working at Home (H) had to be recorded. New features introduced for 1911 were a requirement to record the postal address of the dwelling. Also, married women, whose husbands were still living, had to record the length of the marriage in years , the number of children born to the marriage and the number still living when the census was completed. It should be remembered that in 1896 county boundary changes resulted in the transfer of Chardstock from Dorset to Devon and Wambrook from Dorset to Somerset. An analysis of the recordings for Chardstock is tabled below, together with comparisons for each census since 1841. The Boarding School/College (1861 to 1881) and the Industrial school (1861 only) have been excluded from the figures. Also a formerly detached part of the Parish of Chardstock at Crawley had been transferred to Membury by 1901. It remained in the Ecclesiastical Parish of Chardstock and was included in the 1901 transcript (11 households and 48 persons), but was excluded from the 1911 census Parish of Chardstock (excluding schools) Age Group 1841 1851 1861 1871 1881 1891 1901 1911 Under 10 357 360 284 373 290 248 229 205 (19.8%) 10 to 19 302 284 287 283 252 247 203 196 (19.0%) 20 to 29 191 186 161 184 150 150 131 140 (13.6%) 30 to 39 166 154 140 146 128 115 112 129 (12.5%) 40 to 49 135 146 131 151 127 122 105 123 (11.9%) 50 to 59 102 112 120 132 114 98 108 103 (10.0%) 60 to 69 73 73 88 83 101 83 87 69 (6.7%) 70 to 79 59 55 49 55 47 47 56 56 (5.4%) Over 80 16 6 10 7 19 16 17 12 (1.2%) Total 1401 1386 1270 1414 1228 1126 1048 1033 No. of households 273 295 296 302 275 267 251 258 Average persons per household 5.1 4.7 4.3 4.7 4.7 4.2 4.2 4.0 Uninhabited dwellings 15 7 8 5 21 14 21 N/A Due to the way in which the 1911 census was completed, it is not possible to identify dwellings in multiple occupancy, nor was any record made of uninhabited dwellings. The 1911 census recorded 502 male and 531 female persons, compared with 501 male/547 female for 1901 and 565 male/561 female in 1891. NOTES Transcription of the 1911 census was made by members of CHRG from images of the original documents. When extracting information from this transcript, the following points should be noted: The Parish of Chardstock was subdivided into two Enumeration Districts, equating to the North and South Tything of the Parish. Frank Apsey of Hook Cross was the Enumerator for the North Tything and William Beviss of Fordwater for the South Tything. The Chardstock census of 1911 was the first to be completed by the head of the household, rather than the Enumerator. Consequently there was a greater lack of consistency with some people being recorded with the Christian name by which they were known, rather than the name by which they were baptised. The Occupational Status of each person (if applicable) had to be shown as Employer (Er), Worker (W) or Own Account (OA). There was clearly considerable confusion about when and how this notation was to be used with many cases of information either being incorrect or missing. Also there was a general lack of understanding regarding the term “working at Home (H) “. The postal address had to be recorded for each dwelling and this created further confusion. Dwellings at the southern end of the South Tything were geographically located in the Civil Parish of Chardstock, the Ecclesiastical Parish of All Saints and the postal town of Axminster. It is not surprising that this led to many errors, mainly affecting where people were recorded as having been born. The information required of married women was sometimes completed by widows, and occasionally by widowers. This was crossed out by the Enumerator, but has been included in this transcript, as it is information useful to researchers. There are some cases where the return has been incorrectly completed. “Notes” have been added to correct any obvious errors. The Nationality of each person had to be recorded. Every person entered on the Chardstock census was “British subject by parentage”. For the “Relation To Head” column relationships are given in full wherever space permits. When it does not, the following abbreviations are used: Dau Daughter GSon Grandson GDau Granddaughter GFather Grandfather GMother Grandmother SonLaw Son-in-Law DauLaw Daughter-in-Law MothLaw Mother-in-Law FathLaw Father-in-Law BroLaw Brother-in-Law SisLaw Sister-in-Law Shortening of forenames has been avoided wherever possible with full names being given in the transcription. Also, full stops have not been used in names, thus Wm. C. Larcombe in the census return appears as William C Larcombe. This measure is designed to assist word search software programmes. By the same logic the town or Parish of birth is given in full, whenever possible. In the transcription the column headed “Condition” in the census return uses the abbreviations M for Married, S for Single and W for Widow or Widower. In cases where other research has produced an alternative to the transcribed version, that alternative is shown alongside the transcribed version in [ ] brackets provided the alternative has an equal or greater likelihood of being the correct or preferred version. To save space and achieve consistency, the place of birth is given first, followed by the county, indicated by the use of the “Chapman County Code” system. The codes used in this Census are listed below: CAM Cambridgeshire CON Cornwall CUL Cumberland DEV Devon DOR Dorset ESS Essex GLA Glamorgan GLS Gloucestershire HAM Hampshire HEF Herefordshire HRT Hertfordshire KEN Kent LAN Lancashire LIN Lincolnshire NTH Northamptonshire OXF Oxfordshire SOM Somerset SRY Surrey SSX Sussex WIL Wiltshire YKS Yorkshire Hook Cross Chardstock (4 rooms, 4 male, 1 female - total 5 persons) Frank APSEY Head M 56 M Assistant Overseer of the Poor.

  • Chardstock Baptisms to 1879
    CHARDSTOCK ST. ANDREWS CHURCH - BAPTISMS Source: Chardstock Parish Registers and Bishop’s Transcripts Dates: 1579 to 1582 from Bishop’s Transcripts 1597 to 1846 transcripts from Parish Registers, except periods March 1707 to April 1713, July 1713 to August 1714 and August 1714 to June 1716 for which no records are available. 1847 to 1879 transcripts have been taken from photocopies of the Bishop’s Transcripts of the Chardstock Parish Registers, held in Wiltshire Records Office. Where these were unclear, they have been checked against microfiches of the originals, held in Devon Records Office, and altered as appropriate. There are a number of inconsistencies between the two versions; for instance Susan Cozins in the Bishop’s Transcript appears as Susan Cousins in the Parish Register. The Wiltshire records for years 1850, 1856, 1858 1862, 1864, 1865, 1868, 1871, 1873 and 1876 are missing, either because they were not copied originally or because they have been lost. These gaps have been made good from the Devon Records Office, and are included within this transcript. Both Parish Registers and Bishop’s Transcripts are given for the years 1847, 1848, 1849 and 1850. The researcher is strongly advised to consult the original copies at Wiltshire or Devon Record Office, and use these transcriptions only as a guide to what these sources contain. When using this site, the following points should also be borne in mind: Abbreviations have been avoided wherever possible and full stops have not been used in names, thus Wm C. Watts in the register appears as William C Watts. This measure is designed to assist word search software programmes.

RECOMMENDATION: Approval with conditions Crown Copyright and database rights 2020 Ordnance Survey 100023746 Committee Date: 4th November 2020 Yarty Target Date: (Chardstock) 20/0375/FUL 12.06.2020 Applicant: Mrs Gill Keam Location: Fordings Chardstock Proposal: Construction of pitch roof and dormer window to existing garage for the conversion and provision of ancillary living accommodation. RECOMMENDATION: Approval with conditions EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This application has been referred to Committee following a Chairman’s Delegation meeting so that Members can consider the impacts from the ancillary accommodation on the area. The application proposes the conversion and upward extension of an existing garage to form ancillary living accommodation. The application does not propose a separate dwelling and if consent were granted, planning permission would be required for the building to be used as a dwelling independent of the Fordings. The site lies with the AONB, adjoins the Conservation Area and is adjacent to two listed buildings. The applicant is not required to demonstrate a need for the extension or to justify its size (although they have advised it is to enable the applicant to care for an elderly parent), and it is for Members to consider the physical and visual impact from the extension that represents additional living accommodation for the main house, albeit in a detached form. The main impacts are from the addition of the roof, dormer window and changes to the appearance of the garage.

    PARISH OF WAMBROOK 1881 CENSUS RG11/2385 The census was carried out on the night of 3rd April 1881 and closely followed the format of the previous censuses taken between 1851 and 1871. The head of the family had to be defined as did the relationship to the head of each person staying in the house that night. The gender of each person was also recorded. Accurate ages were required throughout and were taken from the person’s last birthday. For infants under one year, the age was recorded either in months (m), weeks (w) or days (d).

  • Bishops Hull
    © University of London 2019 Text by Mary Siraut, Victoria County History, Somerset BISHOPS HULL Before the mid 19th century the ancient parish of Bishops Hull was not only a rural parish west of Taunton including the village of Bishops Hull, the large hamlet of Rumwell, the smaller hamlets of Fideoak, with Upcott and Barr, and Roughmoor and a few isolated farms and mills along the river but also the area of west Taunton roughly bounded by the Tone as far east as and including the Town Mills, the east and south walls of the castle precinct, the road to Wilton with an extension along the west side of Cann Street as far as Shuttern and the Sherford stream on the south west. Only on the north west did this urban enclave adjoin the rest of the parish. The area probably formed part of the original settlement of Taunton comprising the minster, cemeteries and possibly a royal hall. It was presumably transferred to Bishops Hull about the time of the construction of the castle in the 11th century possibly to keep the castle outside the borough although Wilton was closer.1 Taunton Castle and its outer precinct, now called Castle Green, the areas later known as Tangier and Stepswater, and St Paul’s medieval chapel and its surroundings were all in Bishops Hull parish. By the post- medieval period if not before that caused difficulties. In 1757 for example concern was expressed that troops had been billeted in bad houses in distant parts of the parish as well as in the Taunton area as intended.2 Although not formally constituted as a separate parish until 1885 it was rated separately by the 1840s when it was known as the Town Division as opposed to the main part of the parish called the Country Division.3 The town area until the 1880s was bounded by the river Tone on the north, Mill Lane and the outer ditch or moat of the castle on the east and south-east.
