Hi all - for my own research purposes I am in the process of compiling copies of the enumerator's details from the 1891 census for all areas relevant to the Whitechapel murders.
Just a brief note of explanation: for census purposes, London was was assessed by parish and each parish was sub divided into districts. For each district's returns there is a covering sheet filled in by the enumerator (the census official for that area) showing in great detail the area covered by that district.
The parishes and their districts for which I will be doing this are as follows (note that if a parish says "No districts" this does not mean there is no census data, it means the whole parish was dealt with in one return so there was no need for subdivision):
1891 Census
