There was a previous remark about the 1851 religious Census. The kent part of this cencus was published as follows KENT RECORDS General Editor: A.P. Detsicas, RA., M.A., D.Litt., F.S.A. RELIGIOUS WORSHIP IN KENT THE CENSUS OF 1851 Edited by MARGARET ROAKE Published by the Kent Archaeological Society The Museum St. Faith's Street, Maidstone Kent 1999 I understand there was a sort of rligious census in the 1830s when parliament sent commissioners around the country, to discover new sects. does anyone know anything about this? The only ref I have seen to this was in a book which mentioned that in the West Country, the Brethren refused to name theirselves and were returned as 'Catholics, not Roman.'
