This book has been mentioned elsewhere on RC....

Pre-1841 Censuses & Population Listings in the British Isles (Paperback)
By Colin R Chapman

available from www.thebookdepository.co.uk for £12.12 (free postage).  The book is a US import, so could take about a week to arrive.

This book does not contain the actual pre-1841 data, but it does tell you which towns and villages had censuses pre-1841 that contain actual names.  It also suggests other lists which would contain names, and in all cases it tells you where this data is stored.  A very useful book, especially for the beginner.



RIP 1949-10th January 2013

Best Wishes,  Nick.
