Some Facts and Figures from the 1891 Census |
|
|
|
|
|
Small, but beautifully put together!
The population of the village in 1891 was the lowest recorded in any
census from 1801 to the present, at just 584.
8 in a row!
There are just two inhabited houses listed on Waterside Road .... and
between the two are EIGHT houses listed as uninhabited!
Keep it in the Family!
As usual there were two enumerators for Winteringham .... and they were
both called Jabez Spencer!
Jabez Spencer (senior) covered the eastern half of the village, and Jabez Spencer (junior) the western half. As was normal the dividing line between the two districts is stated in the census as a line down the middle of Low Burgage, carrying on through the middle of High Burgage. However, Jabez senior did both sides of High Burgage - despite labelling his entries for the road as High Berridge (E).
Oldest:
William Warburton was the village’s oldest
person at the age of 85, residing with his son who was the Malster in Low Burgage.
Birthplace:
Stephen Bell must be one of the few people with the claim to fame of
being born on Read’s Island! He was aged 9 at the time of the Census.
Non-English
Almost everyone listed in the census was born in Lincolnshire or
Yorkshire, with a spattering from other English counties. However, there was one person from each of Scotland, Ireland and Wales, with another from Canada, and a ship’s captain all the way from his
birthplace in Sydney, Australia!
Right Said Fred
In almost every incidence of the name Frederick appearing in the
census, the enumerators have spelt it without the ‘k’ .... Frederic.
Mystery Lincolnshire Village
Alice Pulleine was born in “Botsworth, Lincolnshire” according to the
Census. We believe that this may be Bottesford.
