Wan(d)less extracts from the 1881 English census (multiple
counties)
Census Day: Night of 3rd April
Fields: Name, relationship to head of household,
marital status, age, occupation, birthplace (town & country).
Place of residence (where the census was taken) is on the first
line of each entry with the folio information.
Codes used:
WI=wife
DA=daughter
GD=granddaughter
GS=grandson
HD=head
Lgr=lodger |
M=married
U=unmarried
NP = nephew
NC=niece
Sis=sister
SO=son
SV or Ser=servant |
SL or SOLW=son in law (which might mean stepson or something
other than the modern usage of in-law) |
If there is a number first in an entry
(1, 2, 3, etc.), it is a control number used by the contributors;
pay no heed to it, as it is not part of the original census data.
Standard English county abbreviations are used.
First, not in England, but in Wales, a ship named "Miss Wandless" (probably built in England), inserted here for entertainment value:
