Thanks to Miriam Stefansson for transcribing the original documents! |
This information provides just part of the information taken to provide some statistical information on the Parish of Kildalton in the year 1860. This information can be found on LDS film #918682. I do not know why it was done just a year prior to the national census but it contains some additional information that is not available on the national census - information relating to education of individuals in the parish along with a signature (in most cases) of those who claimed to be able to write
Following is the statistical summary of this information - over the whole parish rather than just the following listed entries
