| The Greathead families seem to have originated from the North
East of England. |
| We have been interested in measuring data on population since
the time when the Doomsday Book was complied. |
| The first full census however was taken in 1801, both to
gauge possible resources available during the Napoleonic Wars and to find out whether the
population was growing or not. |
| Census
returns were taken in the UK every 10 years from 1801 to 1831 and gave
genealogists very little information on individuals. A more detailed
return was taken in 1841. However those taken from 1851 to current
times have had far more information gathered. Copies of the
enumeration sheets are only available up until 1901 as the others are
subject to the 100 year confidentiality rule. |
