Becoming a census enumerator (HAYES, HODGES, DREW) (General)
Does anyone know how people went about becoming a census enumerator? I have found several family members (HAYES father and son in 1871, HODGES father in 1861 and son in 1871 and DREW probably a woman in 1871) who were enumerators, including one former gaolbird! I cannot imagine that these were particularly well-off people, therefore probably not of much status. What were the qualifications? Or were there none, bar literacy? I've scoured around for information, but have found none. Any ideas?
Regards,
Sian.
