Census: 1801
Thorpe St Andrew (also known as Thorpe Episcopi) is one of the few places in the county for which a census before 1841 containing names survives.
This 1801 Norfolk Record Office document [with the reference PD 228/105] is on two separate sheets of paper. One sheet [numbered Page 1] contains those living in Thorpe Hamlet and the other sheet [numbered Pages 2 and 3] headed Thorpe next Norwich contains the rest of the parish population.
Note that Thorpe Hamlet became part of the City of Norwich in 1852 when it was constituted as a separate ecclesiastical parish.
