Notes on the Highmore/Highmoor 1901 Census

The Enumerator was Mr Isaac William Newton.

Highmoor was spelled Highmore until about 1950.

There were 124 males and 115 females (children included).  Total population was 239, including visitors, in 58 properties.

Few children are described as being 'scholars' (as in former census returns).  Perhaps this was because by 1901 all children were required to go to school.

The phrase 'on own account' probably meant self-employed.

Where the village of birth is described as simply 'Greys' or 'Peppard', I have inserted R for Rotherfield, as this is the proper name and may have been used in records elsewhere.

No 34: 'The Woodman': Lucy Leader, aged 27, is described as a Housekeeper.  Perhaps this public house was not licensed in 1901?

No 37: Thomas Bryant, aged 33, farm bailiff and widower, is described as having been born in 'England'.  I have not found such a simple name in any of the other Highmoor or Stoke Row returns.  Perhaps this man was born a gypsy or in the workhouse and his records had been lost?

No 51: Highmoor Hall.  Note: The village was spelled Highmore, but the manor house was spelled Highmoor.  This latter spelling was not used for the village until the 1950s.

No 52: Note: the boundary between Highmoor and Bix ran through the grounds of Highmoor Hall.
