Hi Listers, I have information concerning the 1801, 1811, 1821 and 1831 population figures for Bitton from the handwritten notes of H.T. Ellacombe curate then vicar. Bitton 1801 Bitton 1,094 Hanham 795 Oldland 3,103 Total 4,992 Bitton 1811 Males 731 Females 755 Hamlet of Hanham 1811 Males 435 Females 499 Hamlet of Oldland 1811 Males 1,753 Females 1,888 In 1811, total inhabitants in the whole parish 6,061 Bitton 1821 Total inhabitants 7,171 Bitton 1831 Total inhabitants 8,703 Josephine

Bristol Record Office has a copy of 1831 census for Bitton which names heads of household, lists the number of males and females in each household and gives their ages. With care it is possible to recognise families from this information but the list would include others living at the same address including servants.
