Census strays are those entries where the county of birth is
different to that in which the subject has been recorded on census
day. Records where the county of birth is not known [ "Not
Known", "Unknown" etc] have also been included,
and counties are 'as recorded', which means that sometimes they
may not be as they are today, or simply that mistakes have occured.
Only Preece (and variants) entries are listed here.
Each year is split into several sections (the same for each year),
to make viewing a little easier with the large numbers [over 13,000
entries over the 8 census years]. 1841 entries only quote whether
or not the individual was born in the county, 1851 and onwards
quotes a place (where given).
These pages can be used as a finding aid if you wish to go and
view the census yourself, or please ask for a full household transcript
for any entry you see here.
Click on the appropriate link below to begin your search, you
will be able to navigate to the same section for other years from
within each page. All entries are indexed by first letter
(or initial) of first name.
