Burley History - The Census
_Every ten years since 1801, a census of the population has been taken
in every part of England. Since 1841, the records allow us to learn
details of every household and its members, their gender, age, marital
status, occupation and birth place.
In Burley Archives, kept in our public library, we have copied, from the Public Record Office in Kew Gardens, details of all households in the village onto a card index, covering the years 1841 to 1901. (There is a 100 year ban on Census details of this kind.)
