 *City or borough, parish or township
+*Address (street and house information)
 *Name of each member of the household
 *Sex/gender
 *Age (for adults 15 and up, the age was rounded down to the lower multiple of 5)
-*Address (street and house information)
 *Occupation
 *Whether or not the individual was born in the county in which they were living. (If it is ‘yes’ , it is noted with “Y” and for ‘no’ it is noted with “N”.)
 *A column indicating if born out of the country, i.e. “S” for Scotland; “I” for Ireland
-*Year of Birth: Although the age was rounded down, the year of birth was inadvertently rounded up. There will be a large discrepancy to be mindful of when looking for accurate dates. For example: Johnny is 39 but is rounded down to 35. His year of birth is 1802. Rounding it down it should show as 1806; but because of the error it shows as 1811.
