NOTES

COLUMN HEADERS:

NO:

There are 25 lines on each Page in a census book for an institution. This is the line number.

CON:

"CONDITION as to Marriage", [i.e. marital status]:>

SEX and AGE:

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.

EMP:

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).

CTY:

County of birth. This has been standardized to a three-letter "Chapman" county code.

The column listing infirmities has been omitted.  Details are given in the NOTES column.
