Pre 1841 census Statistical Data
With these charts one is able to determine the development of parishes and towns and surrounding parishes from census year to census year. It is surprising to see how few houses there are in some parishes and more families than houses.

Post 1841 census Statistical Data
From the 1841 census forward you will not find employment data in the statistical charts. The population schedules which started in 1841 record the occupations of people.
