Note: – This order will be indicated by the Schedule Numbers entered in your “Memorandum Book,” prepared in conformity with the instructions:–
(2.) Copy very legibly in ink the Householders’ Schedules into this
Enumeration Book, in accordance with the following directions:–
Directions respecting the manner of entering the Householders’ Schedules.
- Insert first, in the spaces at the top of the page, the name of the Parish or Quoad sacra Parish, Parliamentary or Royal Burgh, Town or Village, &c., in which the houses of that page are situate, drawing your pen through such of the words as are inappropriate.
- In the first column, write the No. of the Householder’s Schedule you are about to copy, commencing with No. 1; in the second column the name of the Road, Street, Square, &c., where the house is situate, and the No. of the house, or any distinctive Name by which it is known; then insert in the third column the figure 1 for an Inhabited House, and Copy from the Schedule into the other columns all the relative particulars mentioned therein, making use of any of the authorized contractions (see below), and taking especial care to class the ages of
males and
females under their
proper columns.
Proceed to enter in the same manner the other Schedules, up to the last, in strict numerical order.
- Under the name of the last entered person in each house, draw a
double line, as in the example on the opposite page, to separate the inmates from those of the house next following, and where there is more than one Occupier in the same house, draw a single line to distinguish each Family, as in the example. [Note. –By the term “house” must be understood a distinct building separated from other buildings by party walls. Flats, therefore, must not be entered as Houses. A Lodger, with or without a family, is to be considered an Occupier].
- Where you have to insert an uninhabited house, or a house building, do this by writing in the fourth column “1 U,” or “1 B,” in a distinct line, following the line in which the houses occur in the Road, Street, &c. Where two or more houses, uninhabited or building, occur together, enter the total number, thus : – “3 U,” “2 B,” as the case may be.
- At the bottom of each page, on the line for that purpose, enter the total number of
houses in that page, as in the example. If the statement respecting any inhabited house is continued from one page to another, that house will be reckoned to the total of the houses in the page on which the first name is entered. Enter also, on the line at the foot of the page, the total number of
males and
females in that page, the total number of Children attending School, and the Rooms with one or more Windows. [The number of School Children and Windowed Rooms is to be reckoned in the case of each family, the relative figures being inserted in a line with the name of the Head.]
- When all the Schedules belonging to any one local Sub-division have been entered, write across the page, “End of the ---- of ----”, making the next entry on the first line of the following
page.
Persons not in Houses; and Completion of the Enumeration Book.
After having completed the entry of all the Householders' Schedules according to the above directions, commence a fresh page, and writing across the top “List of Persons not in Houses,” proceed to copy from your “Memorandum Book” the particulars contained in the List of Persons who slept in Barns, Sheds, &c., but in making up the totals at the foot of that page, the column headed “Houses” must be left blank, as Barns, Sheds &c., are not to be reckoned as Houses. Then, having satisfied yourself of the correctness of your book, fill up the tables on pages iv. and v., and sign the Declaration on page vi.
