[1] Individual census elements differ somewhat with each 10-year inquiry.  The categories listed are those that appear most often between 1880 and 1930.  Where information is missing in any given 10-year census, it is because a particular question was not asked that time.

[2] The total figure of 25 households results from two families residing in 1508; one owned the house and a second rented from them.

[3] Two households in 1513 and two in 1514; no information on 1521 in this particular census.
