Winterborne Whitechurch

1821 Census

Transcribed for the Dorset OPC Project by Kim Parker

Transcriber’s Note: This Census is taken from the account book of the Overseers of the Poor for Winterborne Whitechurch 1791-1828 held at the Dorset History Centre in Dorchester (ref. PE/WWH: OV11). The document is in poor condition, so it has been necessary to make some editorial insertions, signified by [brackets]. Also, where an obvious abbreviation appears in the original text, Christian names have been given in full in this transcript.
