General Instructions
to the Enumerator
Immediately after the completion of the Enumeration:
(1). Arrange and number
the Householders Schedules and other Schedules in such order that
all those relating to one Civil Parish, one Sanitary District, one Ecclesiastical
Parish, or other local sub-division, follow each other.
(2). Copy the Schedules
very Legibly in Ink into this Enumeration Book, in accordance with the
following directions:
Insert first, in the
spaces at the top of the page, the name of the Civil Parish, Municipal
Borough, Ward of Municipal Borough, Urban Sanitary District, Town or Village,
or Hamlet, Rural Sanitary District, Parliamentary Borough or Division,
and Ecclesiastical Parish or District in which the houses referred to
on that page are situated. No Schedule is to be entered on a page unless
if belongs to each of the local sub divisions named in the Heading. See
also Instruction No. 10.
In the first column,
write the No of the Schedule you are about to copy, commencing with No
1, in the second column the name of the Road, Street, Square, &c,
in which the house is situated, and the No. of the house, or any distinctive
name by which it is known; then insert in the third column the figure
1 for an Inhabited House, and copy from the Schedule into the other columns
all the particulars concerning the persons returned therein, without any
omission, or any abbreviation except those authorised in the Instruction
at the foot of this page, taking especial care to enter the ages of males
and females in their proper columns.
Enter in the same
manner the contents of all the other Schedules, in strict numerical order.
Under the name of
the last entered person in each house draw a strong double line, as in
the example on the opposite page, to separate the inmates from those of
the house next following; and where there is more than one occupier in
the same house, draw a single line to distinguish the separate families,
as in the example. [Note: The occupier of a separate tenement, although
living alone without wife or family, must be treated as a separate family.]
If you have enumerated
any persons in Canal Boats or Barges, enter the Schedules for Vessels
in the same manner as the Householders Schedules, stating in col.
3 the locality in which the boats, &c, were enumerated.
If you have obtained
information and noted it in your Memorandum Book, respecting persons not
dwelling in houses but in Barns, Sheds, Caravans, &c., the particulars
should be entered under the proper Road, Lane, or other locality, in making
up the totals at the foot of that page, however, the Barns, Sheds, &c.,
must not be counted as Houses.
Where you have to
insert an uninhabited house, or a house building, do this by writing in
the fourth column 1 U, or 1 B, on a distinct line,
taking care to omit none which are noted in your Memorandum Book. When
two or more houses, uninhabited or building, occur together, insert the
total number, thus: 3 U, 2 B, as the case
may be.
Insert in col. 5 against
the name of each occupier the number of rooms occupied if less than five.
The contents of columns
11 to 14 should be accurately copied from columns 6 to 9 of the Schedules
without any omission, alteration or abbreviation.
At the bottom of each
page, on the line for that purpose, enter the total number of houses in
that page, as in the example. If the statement respecting any inhabited
house is continued from one page to another, that house will be reckoned
in the total of the houses in the page on which the first name is entered
but not again in the following page. Enter also on the line at the foot
of the page the number of tenements with less than 5 rooms, and the total
number of males and of females on the page.
When all the Schedules
belonging to the Civil Parish, Municipal Borough, Ward of Municipal Borough,
Urban Sanitary District, Town or Village, or Hamlet, Rural Sanitary District,
Parliamentary Borough or Division, Ecclesiastical Parish or District,
named in the heading have been entered, write across the page. End
of the Civil Parish of , End of the Municipal
Borough, Ward of Municipal Borough, Urban Sanitary District, Town or Village,
or Hamlet, Rural Sanitary District, Parliamentary Borough or Division,
Ecclesiastical Parish or District of . The rest
of the page must then be left blank, and the following Schedule must be
entered on the first line of the next page. On the printed Example on
page iii.
