What does this mean?
« on: Sunday 04 September 16 15:26 BST (UK) »
Noticed an odd notation about the address of my 4x great-grandparents' family in the 1871 Census.

I've attached an image as I can't fully understand what it says, but from what I can gather it's something to do with a different parish? This is the census for Farcet in Huntingdonshire.

It also gives a reference number, where does that lead to?
Knighton in Huntingdonshire and Northamptonshire
Tweedie in Lanarkshire and Co. Down
Rodgers in Durham and Co. Monaghan
McMillan in Lanarkshire and Argyllshire

Farm House not in St.Thomas's parish basically . Whittlesey Mere was part of the fens in Huntingtonshire. Family were at Farm House in previous census.

If you look at image 1 of the 17 - column 2 states that "The houses marked (x) schedules 73 and 74 are within the Ecclesiastical District of St Thomas Ponds Bridge"  See Registrar's letter of Dec 16th 71

Notes within the entry for Schedule 74 disputes the above, and refers to a memo.

Thank you all, this is very helpful. So from what I can gather, my ancestor Isaac Wade was arguing with the census taker that his house was in Farcet and not in Ponds Bridge St Thomas?

Not sure about that -I think that the Enumerator and the Registrar were having the "discussion" related to the two properties.

Added:  The note within Schedule 74 relates to a memo from the Incumbent who disputes the fact that this property is within the parish of St Thomas.

BUT at least they were enumerated somewhere!  ::)
