First Church Lawford Census 1801

The first preserved Church Lawford Census is from 1801. Although this predates the national censuses (which began in 1841), and only shows the householder along with the numbers of household occupants, it was a needed for various purposes at the time. The total in the right hand column is reached in two different ways from the other columns. The first Kings Newnham Census that is available was in 1841 and is referenced here.
