I have a copy of the Metfield 1811 census.It is not as detailed as other census but lists the head of the household ,occupation and how many males and females in the house.
If you have ancestors at Metfield at about this time ,I am happy to pass on details. Please start a new topic on the Suffolk LOOKUP REQUESTS board.
