Identified issues: The recording of the households in this district is a mess! It would seem that the district starts on page 2 and then jumps to page 4, 6, 8 and 10. It then seems that the next households start on page 1, followed by pages, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11. The pages after this appear to be in the correct order. 

Addresses appearing in this Enumeration District have been added to the Census Address Index page.
Details of identified public houses have been added to the relevant pages.

The below is a transcription of this enumeration district. Every attempt has been made to accurately record the details. If possible you should check these details with the original record.

Surnames are in upper case and only recorded for the main householder. Where no surname is shown, refer to the one immediately above. Some households are split by pages, these page breaks have been eliminated for ease of browsing. All places of birth are in Yorkshire unless otherwise stated. Don't forget that anyone over the age of 15 has their age rounded down to the nearest 5.
