Hi
I wasn't aware there was a dock (presume you mean HM Dockyard) census.  If there is Iwould be interested in this too.  My family lived in Stoke Damerel and most worked at HM Dockyard.  I am going to Plymouth Library this week to look up something.  I will ask if there was a specific census of the Dock.  Did you know that "cordwainer" is a leather worker?  Unusual trade for something working in the Dockard as the Devonport Dockyard only made warships.  I will let you know if I find out anythng.
Regards
