Eastbourne Men at War

 

A Census of all males aged 17 - 55 in 1803

 

On the 18th May 1803, Britain declared war on Napoleon and France and the adult male population of Eastbourne together with all other Parishes in Sussex was called upon by a Variety of Defence Acts to defend their country.  These lists of men provide a virtual census of the resident adult male population at that time.  Under those defence acts, the Lord Lieutenant was responsible for recruiting men for the services (especially the Militia) and Parish Officials were required to compile and return to him lists of all men in the Parish between 17 and 55.

1. Men aged 17 to 30, unmarried, no children under 10

2. Men aged 31 to 50, unmarried, no children under 10

3. Men aged 17 to 30, married, or with two children under 10
