Please
remember all of the places mentioned here are places of
residence found in census returns, rather than actual places
of work. |
The records for 1861 are misleading. Sadly,
the National Archives does not have a number of census
records for that year, which includes the area around
Worthen, where a number of the lead miners are to be found
in 1851. As you will see, that has reduced the number of
lead miners quite markedly. For the first time, one or two iron ore miners have been identified, in Staffordshire. Overall, the numbers of records has affected the review of places, but using those that are available there is little difference in the areas from the 1851 records, with Gloucestershire, South Wales and Staffordshire providing much of the coal mining industry as before. |

The numbers held in this census have
returned to those sort of levels seen in 1851, with no
great missing sections this time to affect the totals. As the details below show, there is an increase in the coal mining in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, and also in South Wales generally - a sign of things to come. For the first time, there are two entries further north than Staffordshire, namely Esclusham in Denbighshire (where there was in fact lead and iron mining) and Codnor on the Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire border. There are still no Preece entries in the Lancashire coalfields, this will finally be corrected in 1881. |
