White House Staunton-Enumerator's Directions (General)

Just looked again at the 1891 census. It is the White Horse, I misread as house. Still means that many families including most of mine lived in a pub!

Enumerators were instructed to include all persons living in a dwelling on the schedule and after all persons in a dwelling had been recorded to draw two diagonal lines to distinguish separate dwellings. Thus on page 2 of the schedule for Staunton in the 1881 census (RG11/5225; Folio: 127; Page:2; GSU roll: 1342259) we see recorded persons in 7 different dwellings. Where two families were in one dwelling the enumerator was instructed to draw one diagonal line between families.

Therefore, Number of Schedule 14, named White House, was occupied only by James Carver and his family. Enoch Barnatt (sic) and his family lived in a separate dwelling which is recorded as Number of Schedule 15.

I hope this clarifies the record.
