1851 Census of Carlisle
LDS Film #0087110
(Only Story/Storey Extracted)
These transcriptions are taken from hand written notes I took over 10 years ago. As they are not really proper transcriptions so I have taken the liberty to add information that will hopefully help others to link the families. Any corrections/additions are always welcome, Wanda Story
Census Date: March 30th or 31st, 1851
A Note on Scholar
entries: Although you often find the word 'scholar'
written in the occupation column, it only means that the child was of school age
and is not proof that the child attended school, it was just an instruction to
the enumerator to indicate children of school age who did not have an
occupation! Until the Education Acts of 1876 and 1880, which prohibited
the employment of children under the age of 10 and children up to 13 were
required to attend school (with some exceptions), there was no legal requirement
for children to attend school. The fees for attending, although sometimes
only one penny per week, were too much for some poor families and in addition
they would lose a possible wage. Unless you find your child on a school roll or in a school
admissions register he or she probably did not attend school.
