Notes

All shorthand contractions in the document have been reproduced as written.
"--" indicates that no surname was present, not even "Ditto", "D^o" or similar.
Where the age is given in "Months" this has been contracted to "Mon" in the transcription.
The abbreviations are "A G L" = "Agricultural Labourer", "D^o" = "Ditto", "F. S." = "Female Servant", "Jn^o" = "John", "Ind" = "Independent", "Ind Wards" = "Independent Wards", "M. S." = "Male Servant" and "Tho^s" = "Thomas".
The text enclosed in "[]" was on the original but had been crossed out but has been included here for completeness.
In other documents and transcriptions the following alternative spellings have been seen which appear to refer to the same people/places:-
Ursula Denny/Usla Denny, Magerson/Meggison, Olington/Ollington.
The entry for "Jn^o Clumer?" is difficult to decipher. The surname could be "Cleaner/Oleaner/Ceanor" or something else?
The following Baptisms are noted from Kilverstone Parish Registers:-
- Bapt No 29 - 16/June/1839 - William son of William and Maria WING of Lowestoft - Occupation of William = Servant.
The following Marriages are noted from Kilverstone Parish Registers:-
- William OLLINGTON marr. Susanna MANN on 2/Oct/1787.
- Entry 6. Thomas MEGGISON of Inner Temple London and Mary CUBITT daughter of George CUBITT of Catfield by licence on 18/July/1826.
The above marriages are purely pointers and further searching should be done as the males may have married again females with the same first names before the Census was taken.
Page 16: The following was at the bottom in the margin :-
"Detached from Croxton Parish Grimshoe
Hundred N^o of District 12".
