My original transcripts did not include occcupation, birthplace, marital status or relationship to head of the house. This information was added at a later stage, using transcripts based on work done by the former Matlock Local History Group and reproduced with the very kind permission of Dr. Christopher Charlton on behalf of all those who did the original extracts. Additions to Enumeration Districts 10 and 11 from the database compiled by Joseph Platts for his M.A. thesis and checked by Ann Andrews. All remaining EDs from the database compiled by Ann Andrews. Compilation on this web site by Ann Andrews. With my very grateful thanks to all the above people, to Doreen Buxton for photocopies, and to the National Archives (formerly the Public Record Office), London.
