1828
Goole Census
[Goole
description, 1810]
[Boothferry Road history]
In 1828 the Aire and Calder Navigation Company who
had built and owned most of 'New Goole' took a census of the families
living in their new town. It was probably made by James Hewitt Hodson,
the company agent, who appears first on the list. The head of the
household was listed as well as the numbers of males and females
in the household. In some cases the address was given and sometimes
the occupation. 1033 people lived then in New Goole. A census of
Old Goole was made in 1827 but we only know from it that 584 people
were then living there.
I have further information on some of these names
and families.
