Checking

The data has been checked.

Grouping

While the records are in as enumerated order there is no information to group the records into households. Instead, the opportunity has been taken to form groups by surname. This may easily result in names being missed but may also help you find the right reference, so that you can find and examine an image of the census enumerator's book.

Abbreviations and Codes

Abbreviations used in the Age column of the index: h = hours; d = days; w = weeks; m=months; y = years.

Chapman County Codes have been used for the county where born and the county of enumeration e.g. HEF = Herefordshire, BRE = Breconshire, RAD =Radnorshire.

The name of the town (or city) of Hereford as been abbreviated to 'HFD'.

How to buy

This information is also available on four CD-ROMs from the Herefordshire Family History Society, web site www.rootsweb.com/~ukhfhs. There is one CD for each of the Registration Districts of Hereford, Kington, Ross and Bromyard.
