If you have not used 19th century census
returns before please bear in mind that the households shown are often
not in order within each street. Even where house numbers are included
these were different to current day numbers which were introduced the
following century. For example census takers did not always walk up one
side of a street and then down the other but may have criss-crossed to
both sides and even then not in any particular order.
Nevertheless, some patterns of order are identifiable by using known
or named buildings such as pubs and schools etc., It is possible for
you to identify these patterns where they exist and so establish where
a person lived. To this end street maps of the period are included
with this census years' transcripts.
There may be some errors within these
transcripts but they can always be checked by purchasing the original
entries via websites that provide them although, of course, even the
originals themselves were subject to human error.
