1881 census
I transcribed this census some time ago but went ahead and uploaded my analysis of the 1891 census first. I have returned to this having also transcribed the 1911 census which forced me to address a problem.
Published population figures for Coates have differed from my own calculations but my work on the 1881 has allowed me to see the (obvious) reason. In 1881 Coates was said to have a population of 1266 so I needed to find out why I only made it 694. It is indeed 1266 if one includes Districts 8 and 10; I have homed in on District 9.
In the 1881 Census the References are of the form RG11 Piece 1693 Folio X Page Y and in the table below I give the Folio and Page numbers. I have shown the Districts too. For this study I have concentrated on Coates itself even though all the places below come within the Parish of Holy Trinity, Coates. I have done this partly because I wanted to restrict myself to Coates but also because modern Coates it itself quite large enough for one person to study.
