Query on 1841 census. Completed thanks

[stanmapstone]

The directions respecting the manner in which Entries were to be made in the Enumeration Schedule for the 1841 Census were “Names of each Person who abode therein the preceding night.” –Insert, without distinction or omission, every living person who abode or slept in each house".


So all the entry means is that those people listed as servants were in the house on the Sunday night. They could have been visiting, employed by the householder, James Pritchard, or boarders. As this was the first census with household schedules, there could have been some confusion about how to fill it in.
