Go back to the 1701 census

I have gone over the pages and given you the translations (if I gave the translation on another page I didn't bother giving it again if it showed up elsewhere)

The spelling was really strange. I don't know if it's a case of that's the way they spelled way back then or they just basically spelled the way it sounded. I didn't correct any spelling mistakes, I left everything as it was on the original.
