Thurleigh Inhabitants in 1788

The first census of Great Britain was taken in 1801, though this and the following three censuses were all interested purely in numbers, names not being recorded until the census of 1841. A local census of Thurleigh was undertaken in 1788 and is held in the British Library. Bedfordshire and Luton Archive and Record Service has a transcription [ref: CRT130Thurleigh10]. The total number of inhabitants, 404, compares with 411 in 1801. M indicates males and F females.
