Census Returns  1851 - 1901

A Census is taken every ten years, although the details of the members of every household cannot be viewed for 100 years, hence the latest census shown here is 1901. Each census return gives the name of every person, age, occupation and place of birth.

See below for  the following information

a) Chart showing the heads of household in censuses 1851 - 1901

 b) All the census returns for each individual house

c) Database of all the census information for 1851 - 1891

c) Information for each separate census year

The Crow Lane Project team have copied the details of the occupants of the houses on Crow Lane from the censuses from 1851 to 1901.

 As the information has been transcribed from microfiche and then copied into computer format, every entry has been double checked. However it is possible that errors may have occurred in the initial transcription or the subsequent re-processing. It is therefore always recommended that the viewer access the original entries, which can be viewed at Ramsbottom Library.

Please note that Joseph Heap, of 11 Crow Lane lived at Crow trees in 1851 and the Farmhouse in 1861, these may both have been the house which was later numbered 11. It would not have been Crowtrees Farm as this must have been demolished before 1850 when the church was built. The details for Crow Trees and the Farmhouse can be found on the Word Doc. and on the census for the years 1851 and 1861
