Padfield 1901 census transcript
The original scanned images of the 1901 census covering the Padfield area came in at around 40 pages, each page containing anything between 25-30 names. Several pages could be discounted because the contents do not lie within the immediate boundary of the present-day village. Additionally, several households are numberless and have not been included for this very reason, however, Glenthorne and Rose Bank are included.
We have compiled an old occupations list with definitions using the 1901 census and a selection of online sources. This will be useful to learn more about an occupation you are unfamiliar with.
See below for notes on how to use the census transcript.
