With some notable exceptions, original census forms for the censuses of England and Wales from 1801 to 1831 have not survived. The data from each of those censuses was however collated and published. To add to the census information for the parish of Waters Upton on this website I have extracted the data from each post-census Abstract of the Answers and Returns in the table below.

Please note that there were some changes to the data collected over the course of the four censuses. Firstly, occupation figures for 1801 related to individual persons but from 1811 to 1831 the figures related to families. Secondly, for houses a new category of Building (that is, under construction) was added from 1811. Finally, a much larger range of employment statistics was gathered in 1831.

A blank cell in the columns for the census years below indicates that the data for the category in question was not published; a dash (–) indicates that the figure was nil.
