The introduction to the 1851 census also applies to this census although not as much of this census is missing. Of special note is the 'married during the year' question (#4). This was not always checked however some enumerators misunderstood the question and entered the year married. The Other Form The microfilm copies of the census of many cities uses a different form. It was a form that was dropped off at all residences, filled in by the residents and then collected by the enumerators. Both sides of the form were microfilmed. This makes searching these censuses difficult because each screen has few names. Other problems are created because the average citizen had poor handwriting, inferior spelling skills than most enumerators and frequently misunderstood or ignored questions. On the other hand some citizen added more details than required. Most notably in place of birth, many people would enter towns or parishes rather than a country. Also the 'remarks' section attracted budding authors. This was their chance to tell ther family history or vent their anger against the establishment. PERSONAL CENSUS 1. NAMES OF INMATES 2.
