| The government
report which published the figures of the 1841 census said that the population
had declined then because of emigration.
If local people could not get work locally they would be forced to move
away. You can see the trend continued until 1871 when the population rose
again. What was happening in the area in the 1860s which might have caused the population to rise? |
