1881 Cranbrook Census
Reference RG 11/937: Cranbrook Enumeration District No 2; District: Cranbrook Union; Enumerator: H. Dyke
All the houses on the South side of the Town, commencing at Mrs Jobson's and continuing through the Town as far as the Cottage near Baker's Cross on the Benenden Road, also all the houses on the North side of the road from the Gas House to Mr May's, formerly Jeremiah Pelhurst's.

Please note:
  • These census records have been transcribed from images of the original census sheets. Whilst all care has been taken, the result is an interpretation of the original which is available at Local Record Offices, from The National Archives, and from ancestry.co.uk
  • Occupation has been unified (e.g. Ag Lab, Farm Lab, and many other such recordings are all displayed as Farm labourer).
  • The Sheet Number is as shown on the original document and is linked to a page showing all the entries on that Sheet (as well as entries from the following or previous sheet where the entry for the location covers more than one sheet).
  • In those instances where the Census entry is incorrect or missing and it has been possible from other sources to derive a correction, then these changes are shown inside square brackets, e.g. [Wife]
