The original census form has separate columns for the ages of males and females, but I have used just one column for age and added a column containing M or F to indicate whether the person is male or female.

This column is an amalgamation of three columns in the original census form:
E | = | Employer |
X | = | Employed |
N | = | Neither Employer nor Employed (N.B. this could mean either out of work or self-employed). |

County of birth. This has been standardized to a three-letter
