The census returns for Calverley Parish are
split into districts. The indexes transcribed here deal with two of
them; Calverley with Farsley and Pudsey cum Tyersall. For the sake
of integrity we also have records from the bordering areas of Stanningley,
Rodley, Bagley and Swinnow that are in Bramley district. There is
also some census data from other surrounding districts. We have included
them to give a better overall picture of the area and to include the
many "strays" from the Calverley parish districts. The data
is normally presented by it's original Enumeration Districts (ED).
The township of Stanningley is problematical as the village falls
under three different districts. In 1851, for example, the part in
Calverley with Farsley can be found here under Farsley as ED6;
the part in Pudsey can be found under Richardshaw, ED20 to
22, and the part under Bramley appears here as Stanningley,
ED1a. (See the guide & map here.)
All the above indexes are continually updated as more information
is added to the basic entries. Please note that many of the names
have been researched and additional data added, eg the entry for WHEATLEY,
B. Harold, in the Farsley 1891 census, appears here in full as WHEATLEY,
Benjamin Harold.
To save space and size, some abbreviations have been introduced, most
of which are obvious. Under the Occupations section the abbreviations
"HLW Weaver" and "PLW Weaver" stand for "Hand
Loom Woolen Weaver" and "Power Loom Worsted Weaver"
respectively.
