-- Transcriber's Notes--
o General Census Notes:
The census pages consist of about 38 lines of data that extend across two pages,
which are filmed together. All pages are bound in a book. Left-hand pages
contain the columns of data you see transcribed here. Right-hand pages contain
agricultural statistics and a remarks column. Only the remarks--if
any--were transcribed from right-hand pages.
No line numbers appear on the original census. Line numbers have been assigned
to indicate the enumeration order.
o Census Page Filming, Binding and Ordering Notes:
Tight binding. Right-most columns on the left-hand page are often not visible
These include: "Insane", "Idiotic", "Land Owner", and "Pauper" columns.
The original pages were number stamped and filmed out of order. I have put the
(left-hand) pages back in their original order by dwelling/family numbers.
Some Left-hand pages and right-hand pages, which are filmed together, do not
match each other (pages were number stamped and filmed out of order).
o Specific Transcription Notes:
In the "Transcriber's Remarks" column, the 'alt:' remark lists possible
alternate name spellings for the purpose of finding the entry when executing a
search. Remark notations such as C/B, M/B, S/B are used. these stand for
"Could be", May be", Should be.
