The CD contains a full transcription for the parishes of Hutton, Longton, Little Hoole, Much Hoole and Walmer Bridge. Each of the 7 census years is presented in two formats; As Enumerated and sorted in Name Order, the former permits the researcher to view the entire household. The leftmost column of each data set is a person's identity-no, introduced by the author as a key field to cross-reference the information. There are two articles, reprinted from the 'Preston Guardian' written immediately before and after the
1901 census. Statistics include a 'league table' of surnames for the area showing the rise and fall of the male-line during the 60-year period and for the 1901 census only, those boys who were later to die as the result of hostilities during the Great War of 1914-18. How to Buy
