Query regarding Form B.2 on census

[Sinann]

Making alterations to you farm without the Landlords permission was a chargeable crime called Waste, it features quite a lot during the Land War when farm buildings were used to house evicted tenants.
It can sometimes be noticeable how many changes there are to out offices between the 1901 and 1911 census, once the farmer owned the farm (usually just before or shortly after 1901) and no longer had to bow to the Landlord's wishes.

I suppose several holdings were bought out between 1901 and 1911, what with the Wyndham Land Act of 1903 etc. Maybe the Valuation Office's records will give an indication as to whether an "immediate lessor" was bought out in that decade. The search goes on...

I've looked at Form B.2 for my families. Annoyingly in 1901 there is a missing page for one and another one, which should have been last on a page, has been missed. Form B.1 tells me that they had 6 and 2 outbuildings respectively.

6 out-offices had increased to 7 on 1911 census. Number of windows at front of the house increased between 1901 and 1911. Householder had been a farmer & shopkeeper in 1901 but a farmer only in 1911. The class of house was the highest in the townland and there were more out-offices than any other property.

Maybe they sold house/shop and moved.

They might have moved or incorporated the shop into the house. I don't know whether they had a separate shop or if it operated from home. I just know they had a shop. They went from a 3rd class dwelling with 2 rooms and 2 windows at front in 1901 to 1st class with 6 rooms and 7 windows in 1911.
