Greetings everyone I'm sorry I didn't make myself clear as to the exact nature of my query. I'm trying to find out how the numbering of the residences was carried out in the 1861 & 1871 Burray census. Was 11/ 34 Burray the same place in 1861 & 1871 census.

After all, there would surely be new houses built and they'd surely be numbered so all the houses in one area had consecutive numbers? Also as the enumeration districts don't always have the same numbers from census to census I would be very surprised if the houses did. Fiona Orkney -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
