1834 Dalkeith census
« on: Monday 25 February 08 14:48 UTC (UK) »
Both the LDS and the Scottish Genealogy Society have mentioned this census, but neither website gives any details on it.
Does anybody know the scope of the census? What information it included? Or any other helpful information on this paticular census.

Thanks and regards

I found this when I "googled"

http://www.aigs.org.au/midlothianff1.htm

"The Australian Institute of Geneological Studies Inc.
Midlothian catalogue of Fiche, Film & CDs
Dalkeith Parish, Midlothian – Scottish Population Listing 1834   Insert CD 1129"

Also
http://www.vividsystems.co.uk/sgr2/publics.htm

"Scottish Population Listings prior to the 1841 census. The Parish of Dalkeith, Midlothian, 1811 and 1821 Censuses and the 1831 List of Communicants of the Established Church. Compiled by Bruce B Bishop. 84pp ISBN 0-9542161-4-5. £5.00"

"Scottish Population Listings prior to the 1841 census. The Parish of Dalkeith, Midlothian, the 1834 population list. Compiled by Bruce B Bishop. On CD, £7.50"

The Scottish Genealogy Society do have this on the online catalogue website

"Scottish population listings prior to 1841 census.
Midlothian - 1834 Census Index - Dalkeith
Price: £7.50"

but as you say, no further details.

The New Statistical Account of Scotland  indicates that several such census enumerations have been taken in Dalkeith over the years, but these may be purely statistical.

I had not heard about this before. I am intrigued by the lack of information about such a potentially useful resource.

I hope someone can answer this query Smiley

 looks like you have to be able to go to the  AIGS library to view them
no good to us here in Scotland
however they do a research service but their prices are a bit steep
$16.50 an hour for members or $33.00 for non members
bit to pricey when you have quite a few names to search

I was thinking the same thing.

I actually almost purchased the Scottish Genealogy Society index, but I decided to wait till when I go to Edinburgh next month and simply consult it first-hand. So if by late April no one has shed any light as to what exactly this census is, then at least I should be able to break it down here on RootsChat.
