Old Buckenham, Norfolk - 1811 Census

Old Buckenham is one of the few places in the county for which a census before 1841 containing names survives.

There are censuses for 27th May 1811 (this page) and 1821. These have been completely transcribed by Graham Loveday King in 1977 and copies are available in the Norfolk Family History Society's Library and other places. I have just listed and indexed the surnames.

The Census Document

The original document had the following headings.

No of Houses
Christian name and surname
Families
Males
Females
Occupations

Notes

All the names were "Christian name" followed by "Surname". I believe "Eaton John" has possibly been transposed so have included both the names for completeness in the index.
.........
John Last
Eaton John
Andrew Turner
.........
In addition to the individual entries summary of houses, families employed in agriculture etc. is given for 1801 and 1811.
