Censuses

Data has been extracted from all years (1841-1901) but only partial coverage of some counties in some years. Almost all of Oxfordshire has been extracted for all years and Warwickshire for 1851, 1881 and 1891. The database currently contains 3670 entries.

Out of 1291 entries in the 1901 census he has so far extracted details of 431 references.

Year	Oxfordshire	Warwickshire	Northamptonshire	Total
1841	199	28	63	313
1851	229	215	49	649
1861	147	62	1	264
1871	216	37	0	290
1881	206	266	55	1113
1891	221	251	61	610
1901	230	19	78	431

I make the total between 3 500 and 4 000 complete census records, which is quite remarkable! Lots of researchers should be able to gain help from such a record. It is also true that David would be really grateful to receive any census returns from you, as some areas and years are much less well covered than others.

Parish Records

David has 5 888 entries extracted from parish registers, IGI and the internet. The earliest record is a christening of a James Gilkes in 1555.

Odds and Ends

This database contains references to entries in newspapers, street directories, wills, deeds and the internet. It currently comprises 775 entries.

He also has some data on events in Canada and Australia.

Contacts

David says, "During my researching I have made contact with a large number of like-minded researchers and have been able to introduce "long lost" cousins to each other. In gfact, I have done that twice in the last few weeks."

I hope I have set out clearly enough the breadth and depth of the records held by David Smith. He would love to hear from you and will really try to help. He would also like help from you if you are willing to share your findings.
