John Richardson family in Yorkshire: Census Records
Location: Yorkshire
This page lists census entries for John Richardson (born in Churwell, Yorkshire about 1805) and many of his relatives. Keeping a single copy of these records and their sources here allows them to be referenced from multiple profiles without repeating the content, making profiles shorter and reducing the likelihood of discrepancies.
In the tables, Rel is relationship to the head of the household; C is "Condition" or "Condition as to Marriage" (married, unmarried, single, widowed); and Age includes M or F for Male or Female, listed in separate columns on the census forms.
The column heading here represented as "Occupation" varied over time. In 1841, it was "PROFESSION, TRADE, EMPLOYMENT, or of INDEPENDENT MEANS". From 1851 to 1881, it was "Rank, Profession, or Occupation". In 1891, rank disappeared, leaving only "PROFESSION or OCCUPATION", but three narrow extra columns were added, to be left blank or marked with a cross: "Employer", "Employed", and "Neither Employer nor Employed". The 1901 form was similar to that of 1891, with "PROFESSION or OCCUPATION", but with a single column for "Employer, Worker, or Own account".
In 1841, only whether each person was born in the same county as the census place was recorded. Subsequently details of birth place anywhere were kept.
Also in 1841, ages over 15 were usually rounded down to a multiple of 5.[1]
The census form of 1911 was much more complicated, with a separate sheet to be filled in by each household, instead of a collector as previously.
"Do" for "ditto" was used extensively to indicate repetition of words from a preceding line.
Household of John Richardson in 1841
At the 6 June 1841 census, John Richardson was head of the following household, residing at Tingley Bar, West Ardsley, Yorkshire.[2]
| Name | Age | Profession | Born in same county |
| John Richardson | 35 M | Cloth Dresser | yes |
| Jane Richardson | 35 F | yes | |
| Mary Do | 14 F | yes | |
| Hannah Do | 13 F | yes | |
| Ely Do | 9 M | yes | |
| Mathew Do | 7 M | yes | |
| Benjamin Do | 4 M | yes | |
| Jane Do | 1 F | yes |
The age of both John and Jane was stated as 35, a multiple of 5. As noted above, in the 1841 census, ages of adults were rounded down to the nearest multiple of 5. So we can only deduce that in 1841 John and Jane were between 35 and 39 years of age. In fact, judging by subsequent census records, in 1841 John was probably 36 and Jane 39.
