VERWOOD CENSUS RECORDS
The census was taken of people in the house or establishment at midnight on the dates given below. Schedules would be left at each house beforehand by the local Enumerator and collected afterwards. If the householder was illiterate or confused by the form then the Enumerator would fill it in with the information given.
The information would depend on who in the household was available to give it and how much they knew of the occupants, especially in multiple occupancy dwellings such as Inns, Boarding Houses and Institutions.
Often in the ten year interval between the census, details such as the birthplace might differ considerably or be given in greater or lesser degree such as hamlet, village, parish and even county or country in which it was situated.
