1841
Census index of Rotherham |
|
Introduction |
| |
The
1841 Census was stored in various repositories until rediscovered
some years ago. The returns were recovered and microfilmed
and this index was produced by members of Rotherham Family
History Society from the 3 films at Rotherham Central Library.
The
index covers the surname, forename and age only, but researchers
should remember that for 1841 there is normally only occupation
and county of birth in addition to this. Partly because
of the handwriting standards of the time and also due to
the condition of the originals some parts were very difficult
to read and therefore there will undoubtedly be errors. We
hope the methods of checking will have minimised these problems. As
far as we can find the whole of Rotherham is covered, and
we are aware of only a very few pages which are missing or
significantly damaged. The order of Enumeration Districts
on the 3 films at Rotherham Central Library is given to assist
in locating the entry.
Rotherham
Family History Society owns the copyright to the index
but has made the information available for sale
from the RFHS Shop. If you decide to purchase the index please
respect our copyright and do not make copies of the disks
for other people. |

In
1841 the present Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham was part
of the West Riding of Yorkshire. The Census, however, did not
stick to County boundaries, so the census is made up of parts
of Rotherham, Worksop, and Doncaster Registration Districts.
The Rotherham District included the Beighton sub-district,
most of which was in Derbyshire, some now in Sheffield. For
this index we have limited the coverage to the present RMBC,
but we have included Tinsley, which is now part of Sheffield.
This is because people born in Tinsley would later have described
themselves as born in Rotherham, so researchers could have
some difficulty if not aware of this detail. |
