| Gaps In Content: |
An addition to the standard questions for the year 1821, there is a question that asks for the "Persuasion" of each household. The answer is usually E. C., but in some instances appears as R. C. or Dist. It likely refers to religious affiliation, with E. C. referring to the Established Church, R. C. referring to the Roman Catholic church, Qr. referring to Quakers, and Disr. referring to dissenters.
It also includes the specific farm or area in which each family lived. |

6th Question: (Referring to the Number of Persons in 1811.) To what Cause do you attribute any remarkable Difference in the Number at present?
