The details in this booklet have been transcribed from the 1841 PopulationCensus and it is pointed out that as the census enumerator did not enterfamily relationships these have been added to the transcript to aid identifi-cation. It is also pointed out that some of the ages listed by the enumeratorhave to be treated with caution as it has been found that when some arecompared with baptisms in the parish registers there are several discrepan-cies.

Nevertheless this is the earliest record to give details of every man, womanand child living in Bilsdale on a particular day at the start of the fourthdecade of the 19th century and the analysis of age groupings and occupa-tions which can be found at the end of the transcripts provides a usefulmeans of assessing the social and economic conditions in the dale.

The groupings of Bilsdale Kirkham, Bildale East and West Side andLaskill Pasture are those listed by the enumerator and it is pointed out thatthey differ from the groupings made in the census taken ten years later.

It can be seen that the financial well being of the community was almost totally dependent upon thestate of farming as apart from the 743 farmers, labourers and their dependents who formed 79.4% ofthe population there were 54 assorted tradesmen whose livelihoods and those of their dependentswould have also largely depended upon the custom they received form the local farming community.The three paupers would have been dependent upon relief provided by the Overseers of the Poor andas only the 18 people living on independent means and the soldier were not dependent on the farmingeconomy it can be claimed that 97.9% of the people recorded in the 1841 Population Census ofBilsdale relied on farming to sustain their families’ standards of living.
