Ireland / Query regarding Form B.2 on census
« on: Friday 12 July 19 19:53 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone,
Form B.2. on the 1901 census is the "Return of Out-Offices and Farm-Steadings".
The list of buildings on each Form B.2. includes "barn", "shed" and "store".
Presumably there were specific definitions of the terms "barn", "shed" and "store" by 1901, so that the census enumerators knew what to record on each Form B.2.
Has anybody any idea as to where I should look in order to find those definitions?
I have an idea myself as to what might distinguish a barn from a shed and a shed from a store etc. but I'm hoping to find the exact definitions that the census enumerators had to follow in 1901.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Michael
