Lotfield Street, Orwell c1920s
The 1901 Census for Orwell, Cambridgeshire.
Reference: RG13/1521 (with acknowledgement to the
Public Record Office)
Date of Census: 31 March 1901
There is a national Census every ten years when
the year ends in a one. This page details the population of the Parish
of Orwell on the night of 31 March 1901 (the list includes children and visitors
from outside the parish in temporary residence within Orwell on the night
of the census).
My thanks and acknowledgements to the 'census team' who provided the documentation and who typed and checked the various page transcripts back in 2002/2003. Particular thanks to Mike Giddings, Susan Giddings, Alexandra Morton and John Parkins for all their help, assistance and encouragement. Any errors are probably mine.
Columns (left to right):
1. Name.
2. Relation to Head of Household.
3. Married, Widow, Widowed or Single (14 years and
over).
4. Age.
5. Occupation.
6. Place of Birth.
Any house numbering shown below was used/allocated in 1901 and therefore unlikely to relate directly to present day postal addresses.
[Information, notes and comments additional to the 1901 Census are generally shown italicised within square brackets]
I would be pleased to hear from you if you can offer any additional genealogical or family information relevant to this page, especially if you possess old photographs that could be added to this site for those who follow. Please use the site's Contact Page in the first instance.
[1] Completed pages.
[2] Following a parish boundary change in April 1999, much of the area of Orwell on the Cambridge Road, previously known as 'New Orwell', is now part of the modern-day Parish of Wimpole. [3] These pages are being rebuilt after their transfer to the new website. The basic listings remain available for reference during the rebuilding.
The 1901 Census for Orwell continued from Part One:
[This page covers the remainder of Orwell High Street following on from Part One before moving on to Malton Road, Lotfield Street, Cross Lane, The Grove and the first part of Town Green Road.]
