Census Data for Carbrooke

This searchable database contains transcriptions of the Carbrooke Census returns from 1841 to 1911, together with the 1939 Register, providing a snapshot of the village’s residents, occupations and households across more than a century of change.

The original research, including information about the Enumeration Districts and downloadable spreadsheets, is available here.

Please Note: These transcriptions have been compiled on a best-effort basis by our volunteer group. 
 Historical handwriting can be notoriously difficult to decipher; therefore, while every effort has been made to ensure accuracy, errors may occur. 
 If your research is critical, we strongly recommend cross-referencing these findings with the original microfilm or digital records held at the Norfolk Record Office or other official archives.

To support the wider family history community, this transcribed dataset is made freely available under a
