As partr of a local project the 1861 census is a valuable tool as this lists all the details available to the time of people. In the small community of only 147 on the census tells us of the many family connections there are and if each of those families worked in the local coal mine.
However, its interesting to note that most of the managers came from different areas and not ‘home grown’
The 1861 census in many cases is the first to apply the full address as the 1841 and 1851 in many returns just use the district name only. The reality was in small areas every family was known; therefore, no address was deemed necessary. A good place to start with.
This census is the first census that lists names, ages and place of birth. The main place of employment was at the local collery and occupations connected with farming.
This small census of a street in the centre of Penkhull provides an opportunity for students of history to take the opportunity of a constructive study of a small area as a spot survey of the wide area of communities and how they mixed together. This census is on an Excel programme therefore details can be sorted to supply records in either age, name, gender, status, occupation and place of birth order.
The 1871 census follows on with this study of Ball Green, its family relationship as well as its relationship with itself as the majority worked together in the local coal mine.
It is interesting to use along with the other census returns to both follow families throughout time and also to obtain a visual of how and when other occupations started to appear in the village. Make a good project for a local history group or local school to draw conclusions.
This census is of the same one produced for the Stoke upon Trent workhouse in 1851. It therefore enables a greater study of comparison to be done from the north of Stoke on Trent and that of the south with results of age, groupings, location of birth. This enables a totally different view of the city and encourages study into how variations came about and the consequences. Perfect for college practical work on family studies or humanities.
This contribution to the history of the southern part of Stoke-on-Trent is invaluable to those keen to learn about the dark side of life for many. This census is on an Excel programme therefore details can be sorted to supply records in either age, name, gender, status, occupation and place of birth order. There are 804 in total of staff and inmates and with the facility of Excel enables many calculations to be evaluated.
This return of 1891 shows an increas in the number of inhabitants as it lists 220
It is an interesting document to use along with other census returns to both follow families throughout the series and also to obtain a visual of how and when other occupations started to appear in the village. Make a good project for a local history group or local school to draw conclusions.
