Saddleworth 1841 Census, An Indexed Transcription

Despite the availability of this and other census returns on a variety of internet sites, invariably the indexing of these leaves much to be desired. This transcription was made by family historians with extensive local knowledge, paticularly of local names, and is considerably more accurate. The transcript is taken from The National Archives piece number HO107/1279 covering the whole of Saddleworth and surrounding villages. It contains records relating to some 3,095 individual housholds containing 16,809 individuals, and includes returns for both the army barracks and the workhouse. In addition to a complete surname/forename index, and a place name index, the transcript is fully searchable using the Adobe Acrobat 'Find' feature.
