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.

This page was moved to the new .org website in November 2019. The page has been re-headed at the top and re-footed (if re-footed is indeed a word) at the bottom. The page text below this note dates from 2003 and is awaiting resetting. I will rework the images and links as I come to them. All the census information for 1891 is complete, just somewhat untidy...

Introduction

This is the 1891 Census for the Parish of Wimpole in Cambridgeshire. There were 290 men, women and children living in the Parish of Wimpole on the 5 April 1891.

The census commences with the School House in the village at the eastern end of Cambridge Road then follows the northern side of the road westwards [most of the village properties on the southern side of Cambridge Road were in the Parish of Orwell until 1999] towards the hamlet of Arrington Bridge. The census then jumps straight to the Rectory and Wimpole Hall, before recording the farms and dwellings around the Wimpole Estate. The 5th Earl of Hardwicke is not in residence - in just three year's time 'Champagne Charlie' will be selling the Wimpole Hall estate to settle massive gambling debts.

There is a national Census every ten years when the year ends in a one. The following table gives the population of the Parish of Wimpole from 1801 to 1951 (the numbers include children and visitors from outside the parish in temporary residence within Wimpole on the date of census).

Old School Cottage (Schedule 68)
[Now demolished, was situated on site of 30 Cambridge Road, Wimpole]
Old Wooden School
This was the original school building in Wimpole. After the new 'brick' C of E School was built in 1874, the building was converted into one then two small dwellings. It was listed as an Almshouse in 1933 (this image is the only photograph of the school I have been able to find and is taken from an ink 'duplicated' WI pamphlet issued in 1958). The original Wimpole Village Hall (1924-1977) can be glimpsed on the right.

This page was moved to the new .org website in November 2019. The page has been re-headed at the top and re-footed (if re-footed is indeed a word) at the bottom. The page text above this note dated from 2003 and is awaiting resetting. I will rework the images and links as I come to them. All the census information for 1891 is complete, just somewhat untidy...

Census Records (Parish of Wimpole):
Census 1881:  Part One [1]  Part Two [1]  Part Three [1]  New Orwell [1][2]
Census 1891:  Part One [3]  Part Two [3]  Part Three [3]  New Orwell [1][2]
Census 1901:  Part One [3]  Part Two [3]  Part Three [3]  New Orwell [1][2]
[1] The 1881 Wimpole Census is fully rebuilt as are the three 'New Orwell' 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.
