This group is comprised of 292 individuals, 144 girls and 148 boys. In creating the group, I recorded all those listed on the 1841 Census for the parish, who were up to and including 9 years of age. This was done as the final part of my module on Local and Family History with the Open University, with the aim of establishing migration patterns.
I must lay my cards on the table, and say at the start that no distinctive patterns were discernible. However, since I started this study four decades ago, the amount of information that has been made available online has grown exponentially, and I have amassed a whole body of information about these individuals, as well as other information about the parish.
Much of this is on Ancestry, but some types of information don’t easily ‘fit’ that model, plus some people don’t have access to the site, so I aim to use this site to place it under the aegis of a One-Place-Study.
The names of the individuals are listed below.

As can be seen, there are several name duplications. 5 Ann Organs for a start, as well as 3 Samuel Organs.
Another problem in tracing individuals is changing of spellings, to be expected in an era when society was only starting to become universally literate. Millard and Milled were interchangeable, and Every was often (but not always) recorded as Avery. Gillings and Jellings were substituted for each other. It took me a long time to realise that Wittaker (and its numerous variations) had been previous recorded as Widigar.
