The census for the years1801, 1811, 1821 and 1831 was to gather statistical information. Detailed family data was not required. However, in gathering the required information some census enumerators took detailed notes of the families in their area. Few of these detailed notes remain. Luckily, the family information for Crich for the census of 1811 and 1821 still remain largely intact. |
