Census of 2nd April 1911
RG14/9099 Enumeration District 20
Enumerator: George E Hutt
"The whole of the Civil Parish of Trumpington except Homerton Training College.
Ecclesiastical Parish Cherryhinton St John the Evangelist (part of): Hills Road from Borough
Boundary to Trumpington Drift (west side), Luard Road, Red Cross Farm, Red Cross House,
Trinity Farm, Purbeck Road.
Ecclesiastical Parish St Mary and St Michael (entire): The Village, Houses on Road leading to
Cambridge both sides, Chaucer Road, Latham Road, River Farm, Mill Road, Railway Gate
House, Southacre, Wood End, Trumpington Hall, Alpha Road, North Terrace, Newton Road,
Houses at Corner of Shelford Road, Vicarage Farm."
1911 is the only census where individual household schedules have been published, rather than
pages from the enumerators' books. This presents particular challenges when transcribing, as
the handwriting changes from schedule to schedule, often making it harder to read. There is no
consistency between different householders' interpretation of the instructions; information is
sometimes incomplete or incorrectly entered.
Addresses are presented in three different ways: the householder's own version, the "official"
address according to the enumerator, and that recorded in the enumerator's list of schedules.
These are often at variance with each other. We have, in general, used the address presented
by the householder, only resorting to one of the others if that address lacks detail (for instance,
simply "Trumpington").
For the first time information about the history of the marriage of each married woman is
included. Four new columns appear: "Completed years the present Marriage has lasted", "Total
Children Born Alive" to the present marriage, "Children still Living", and "Children who have
Died". These were often filled in against the husband rather than the wife, in which case (for
consistency) we have transcribed them against the wife's name. Widows were not supposed to
enter this information, but they frequently did, in which case the numbers have usually been
scored through in red. In these cases we have transcribed the original figures, which will be of
interest to some researchers.
The only roads to be consistently given house numbers are Alpha Terrace and North Cottages.
