Thank you to Gareth and Ruth for organising this for us to read. However, regarding the
instructions to enumerators regarding age - to round 'down' to the nearest five
years - I have often found, by reference to the 1851 census, that they have in fact
rounded 'up' to the next five years. Has anyone else noticed this?
I suppose this is an academic question really, as all it ultimately means is that
'age' on 1841 should be taken as an estimate rather than definite?

Anyone not familiar with the 'differences' in this particular census should
find it helpful reading
