1811 Census parish of Farr
So sometime this year I am going up to the Highland Archives to view the 1811 census for the parish of Farr (Sutherland) - which has amazingley survived. I have been told that it includes my ancestor Alexander Munro who was living there at the time.
Through a long line of about four people a message was passed to me that said the 1811 census for Farr included two Alexander Munros and one was "older" than the other. So I am I right in thinking that this census included the ages of the people ? I'm sure it must have done for someone to be able to say one person was "older" than the other.
That said I know a lot of the pre 1841 census records did not include the people's ages, and they varried from parish to parish, as they were written by the local clergymen, and depended on their specifications.
So does anyone out there know if the 1811 census for the parish of Farr included the ages of the people/head of house holds ?
