Transcriber's note
"I've transcribed everything as seen. Each part was enumerated by a different enumerator - all with very different styles of handwriting and eccentric forms of spelling. I've used the 1851 and 1861 censuses as reference points for the spellings of places but have not changed how they were spelt in 1841, there are a couple of indecipherable addresses. Where I have been unsure of my interpretation of a name, I've used ? after the word to indicate this."
