Middlesex Census

Hertfordshire Locations included

Archive CD Books have just issued the 1861 census (copies of original books) on CD and it should be noted that they include a number of entries for places in Hertfordshire close to the (then) county boundary.

The advance publicity included the following note:

Please note: Censuses are organised by Registration Districts, which do not necessarily correspond with county boundaries. A set of census records for a Registration District may omit some places within a county, and/or include places from adjacent counties. The CDs contain the records of Registration Districts. Middlesex is one of the worst case scenarios for this "problem", as a large proportion of the county falls within the London Registration Districts, and these are therefore not included in this CD set. 

It is easy to clarify the area of Middlesex covered by the Piece Nos. RG9/762-802 which are listed on PRO-CAT as the following Registration Districts:

Staines R.D.762-765: Ashford, Cranford, East Bedfont, Feltham, Hanworth, Harlington, Harmondsworth, Laleham, Littleton, Shepperton, Staines, Stanwell, Sunbury.

Uxbridge R.D.766-770: Cowley, Harefield, Hayes, Hillingdon, Ickenham, Northolt, Norwood, Ruislip, Uxbridge, West Drayton, Yiewsley.

Brentford R.D.771-781: Acton, Chiswick, Ealing, Great Greenford, Hanwell, Heston, Isleworth, New Brentford, Old Brentford, Perivale, Twickenham

Hendon R.D.782-786: Edgware, Great Stanmore, Harrow on the Hill, Harrow Weald, Hendon, Kingsbury, Little Stanmore, Pinner, Twyford Abbey , Wealdstone, Wembley, Willesden

Barnet R.D. 787-790: Friern Barnet, Finchley, Monken Hadley, South Mimms. (partly in Hertfordshire)

Edmonton R.D. 791-802: Edmonton, Enfield, Hornsey, Southgate, Tottenham, Wood Green (appears to include parts of Cheshunt in Hertfordshire & Waltham Abbey in Essex)

The above is a detail of one of the Totteridge entries. The original is of better quality, and to display the full page at best resolution would take too long to download
