Discover more about the Corfe Castle & District 1790 Census
Corfe Castle is a village and a parish in Dorset in South West England. The village sits along the English Channel. It has two main roads, East Street and West Street.
The Corfe Castle and District census is an unofficial detailed account of 1,237 lives. The census was recorded privately by William Morton Pitt. Pitt was the MP for Poole from 1780-1790 and Dorset from 1790 until 1826. He had a keen interest in living conditions in these areas. He actively sought to combat poverty by opening a cordage factory in Isle of Purbeck and a hat factory in Dorchester gaol.
The census is a fascinating look into the lives of the people of Corfe. The census records the occupations and even the salaries of the residents; such as, Elizabeth Gook who spins flax and receives 3s, 6d; George Damon who was a flax dresser and received 4s; and Deborah Damon, the school mistress earned 3s,6d. The salary is listed in pre-decimal amounts. For some of the residents they recorded additional notes; for example, Richard Davy was described as foolish, Ann Smith was described as a dwarf and Eliz Benfield’s notes explained that she was a lodger. Unlike other censuses, the Corfe Castle and District census includes all members of the household, including those born within 1790.
