Introduction

This space contains transcriptions of census returns for the household of George Hardiman Stevens (1838-1911) and Charlotte (Young) Stevens (1840-1908) starting with the 1861 England Census. As such it forms a central repository for transcripts of data for all family members and anyone else associated with the Stevens household through the various censuses up to, and including, the 1911 England Census. A census is included so long as one head, or parent, is still alive and a return is found to transcribe. Also included are census returns for any other households where the head, or parent, may have been staying when the census was conducted. Further extrapolated tables for individual household members, children and relatives can also be found on their own Profile pages accessible by clicking on their names as they appear in any of the tables below. These provide source details for their biographical history, whilst the tables here add further context. Note names in the Household transcriptions have been corrected to their usual spelling.

Data extrapolated from the Census Returns of England and Wales, 1891^[4], recorded for the night of 5 April 1891.

The census also started to collect data about the size of dwellings, specifically how many rooms were occupied, a reflection of concerns about overcrowding.

1911 England Census

Data extrapolated from the Census Returns of England and Wales, 1911^[6], recorded for the night of 2 April 1911. The 1911 Census heralded the biggest changes to the census record since 1851 with the introduction of a separate schedule for each household. Also, for the first time, it documented how many years couples had been married, the number of children they had in total as well as how many of them were living or dead. A worker's industry or service sector was now recorded whilst all individuals had to state their nationality. And the number of rooms for each dwelling was recorded.
