Sources

• 53. British Census 1881, index, listing all Laitys, by county. Each index entry includes name, parish of birth, age, sex, name of head of household, relationship to head of household, marital status, census place, and a reference to the volume and page number where the complete record is located. Thus most of the information from the full record is reproduced in the index; only the occupations are missing. Entries are listed alphabetically by last name (all Laity), parish of birth within last name, and first name within parish of birth; thus families are not listed together. However, using the head of household and volume and page it is possible to accurately reconstruct the households from the index. Note: if no other source for an individual’s date of birth is available, it has been reconstructed by subtracting the age from 1880 (not 1881), as the Census appears to have been taken early in 1881.
