(2) Alfred MARCHANT is listed in a household headed by his father, Wm. MARCHANT, in the 1841 census of Sevenoaks, Kent, England.
Alfred is listed in the 1841 census as a person who was then 7 years of age; therefore, according to the 1841 census, he was born in about 1834. According to the 1841 census, he was born in Kent, England.
* * *
The 1841 Census for England was taken on the night of 6 June 1841. The following information was requested:
• Name of street, avenue, road, etc.
• House name or number
• Surname of head of household
• Name of persons who had spent the night in the household
• Age*
• Sex
• Person's occupation
• Where born**
*The ages of people over 15 years old were usually rounded down to the nearest 5 years. For example, someone who was actually 24 years would have their age listed as 20, and someone who was actually 27 years old would have their age listed as 25.
**The "Where Born" column only asked two questions - 1) whether born in same county, and 2) whether born in Scotland, Ireland, or Foreign Parts. Possible answers and abbreviations to question #1 include: Yes (Y), No, (N), or Not Known (NK). For question #2, the following abbreviations were used: Scotland (S), Ireland (I), and Foreign Parts (F).
Enumeration forms were distributed to all households a couple of days before census night and the household members were required to complete the forms themselves. The next day, the enumerators collected the completed forms. All responses were to reflect the individual's status as of 6 June 1841 for all individuals who had spent the night in the house. People who were traveling or living abroad were enumerated at the location where they spent the night on census night. All of the details from the individual forms were later sorted and copied into enumerators' books, which are the records we can view images of today. The original householders schedules from 1841 to 1901 were destroyed.
The clerks who compiled and reviewed the census data made a variety of marks on the returns. Unfortunately, many of these tally marks were written over personal information and some fields, such as ages, can be difficult to read as a result. More useful marks include a single slash between households within a building and a double slash separating households in separate buildings.
A major problem with the 1841 census is that it was written in pencil rather than pen. This has resulted in many faded pages which have proved unreadable on microfilm.
