Title: Census Winchcombe
Post by: StellaD on Tuesday 08 February 22 17:26 GMT (UK)

HI
I'm trying to see who lived in a street in Winchcombe in the 1850s onwards. The census only lists the streets, not the house numbers although the form asks for that. Does anyone know a way to cross reference this. Most of the inhabitants won't be voters. They are for example a washerwoman, labourers, a licenced hawker's wife (although living alone).
Any help gratefully received.

Hi Stella

Someone tried to do this for Gloucester Street in Winchcombe. Interesting to read how they put it all together from various sources of info https://gloshistory.org.uk/reprints/gh199507.pdf

May help with ideas  :)

Hi Stella

I was the author of the article that Monica referred you to.

Over the years I’ve done a fair bit of research into the inhabitants of Winchcombe’s 19th century streets. If you can let me know which people you’re interested in and which census you’re looking  at I’ll see if I can help.
