Coleorton Population Census
John MacDonald, our Heritage Warden, has collated information that is now available about the population census for the years 1841, 1851, 1861,1871,1881, 1891 and 1901. This has required a lot of time transcribing the images of the original handwritten census documents which are now available in searchable electronic format. Thank you John!
These lists are in pdf format (Adobe acrobat) - one for each census year - which you can download or open in your browser. You can do a search within each year’s document to find a name you are looking for. If you are searching for someone who used to live in Coleorton bear in mind that the parish boundaries have changed significantly over the last two hundred years (see notes below).
