The 1901 Census for Wimpole, Cambridgeshire.
Reference: Ref. RG11/1656 (with acknowledgement to the
Public Record Office)
Date of Census:31 March 1901
There is a national Census every ten years when
the year ends in a one. This page details the population of the Parish
of Wimpole on the night of 31 March 1901 (the list includes children and visitors
from outside the parish in temporary residence within Wimpole on the night
of the census).
The population of the Parish of Wimpole on the night of the 1901 Census was: 240.
My thanks and acknowledgements to the 'census team' who provided the documentation and who typed and checked the various page transcripts back in 2002/2003. Particular thanks to Mike Giddings, Susan Giddings, Alexandra Morton and John Parkins for all their help, assistance and encouragement. Any errors are probably mine.

I would be pleased to hear from you if you can offer any additional genealogical or family information relevant to this page, especially if you possess old photographs that could be added to this site for those who follow. Please use the site's Contact Page in the first instance.
This page was moved to the new .org website in November 2019. The page has been re-headed at the top and re-footed (if re-footed is indeed a word) at the bottom. The page text below this note dates from 2003 and is awaiting resetting. I will rework the images and links as I come to them. All the census information for 1901 is complete, just somewhat untidy...
This is the 1901 Census for the
Parish of Wimpole in Cambridgeshire.
There were 240 men, women and
children living in the Parish of Wimpole on the 31 March 1901. Of
those 121 are male and 119 are female. Only 114 (48%) were born
in the parish and 24 (10%) gave their county of birth as Cornwall.
The sudden appearance of the Cornish tenant farmers and their families
since the previous census is quite marked and I assume this is because
of the Robartes family, owners of Wimpole Hall, and their links
with the family estate in Lanhydrock.
Unlike the 1881 and 1891 census, the 1901 starts
with the high moral ground (the Rectory), sidesteps to the landed
gentry at Wimpole Hall (not that the landed gentry are at home)
then works its way through the outlying farms and lodges down to
the village of New Wimpole and hamlet of Arrington Bridge.
There
is a national Census every ten years when the year ends in a one.
The following table gives the population of the Parish of Wimpole
from 1801 to 1951 (the numbers include children and visitors from
outside the parish in temporary residence within Wimpole on the
night of the census). The 1841 Census had a note recording "several large families have left the parish and others have emigrated since 1831".

Parish Boundary Change - Until 1999, the north side of Cambridge Road was known as New Wimpole and was within the Parish of Wimpole. The south side of Cambridge Road was in the Parish of Orwell (and sometimes referred to as 'New Orwell'). You can access the 1901 census information about the 'New Orwell' properties now located in Wimpole here.

[After journeying around the Wimpole Estate, the census has now reached the village of New Wimpole. With the possible exception of Schedule 29 below, the sequence
appears to follow the northern side of Cambridge Road (the A603) from
east to west. In 1901, the properties on the southern side of Cambridge
Road were in the Parish of Orwell (census details here).]
Cambridge Road(Schedule
29) [I can't identify this dwelling for certain - either
(a) this is half of the Old Wooden School building, which was listed
as two very small dwellings both in the 1891 census and the 1933 Estate sale documents, or (b) this house and family
were simply listed out of sequence as, in 1891, the Carter family were living
at the other end of New Wimpole village (at 1891 Schedule 13).]

If the Census Enumerators 'did' schools, which of course they don't, then this is roughly where Wimpole Church of England School would appear in the census. The images below are both c1900, which means (depending on the exact year) most of the pupils seen here will be listed in the 1901 Census at more or less the 'age' they are in the photographs. Boys on the left, girls on the right. Click/tap on the photographs for larger images and some suggested pupil names.
[The 'Wooden School'
This was the original school building in Wimpole, constructed from timber and brick with slated roof. After the new 'brick'
C of E School was built nearby in 1874, the old school building was converted into one
then two small dwellings. Each dwelling comprised a sitting room, a bedroom, a pantry, plus garden and an outside toilet. Residents had the legal right to "take water from the Pump and Well in the garden of the School-house". The building was said to be an Almshouse in 1933. The above
image is the only 'photograph' of the school I have been able to find
and is taken from a stencilled WI local history pamphlet published in 1958 (although the 'Wooden School' can also be glimpsed in the background of the two c1900 pupil photographs linked above). The original Village Hall (1924-1977) is also in the above image, alongside the school on the
right.]

The seven Estate Worker's cottages built by Lord Hardwicke c1840 follow here (shown in the graphic below with both the original [white background] and modern-day [bold with grey background] house numbers), located along the northern side of the Cambridge Road. There were originally 26 dwellings, later reduced to seventeen dwellings - four 'doubles' and three 'triples' (plan not to scale). The numbers with an asterisk indicate dwellings [known or assumed] to be at the rear of the property.

The table above initially uses fixed information from the Prospectus for the 1933 Estate Sale and from the 1911 and 1901 National Census. Yellow highlighting indicates a confirmed numbered residence (a census says 'who' but not always 'where'). I have then tried to match dwellings to the earlier 1891 and 1871 Census.
Although the 1933 Sale and 1911, 1901 and 1891 Censusus above work through exactly as expected across the 17 dwellings above, it appears that the three 'triples' were originally numbered as six individual cottages and presumably built to house six families (three upstairs and three downstairs). The conversion into three larger paired dwellings (I assume the ground floor was paired with the first floor immediately above) was probably carried out during the 1880s. Cottages and named residents shown in the 1871 and 1891 censuses appears to confirm this.
So for 1871 and 1891, I have tried to use the original cottage numbering system used - No 1 Cottage to No 24 Cottage right to left. I believe this is the numbering 'as built'. Note the more recent 'double' cottage on the far left is listed in both censuses as "un-numbered". Although the 1891 residents fall into place neatly enough, I think the numbering sequence confused the census enumerator in both 1891 and 1871 years and the given cottage numbers were not necessarily listed correctly against the families in residence.

(2) Despite some quite extensive searching, it took several years to establish
where Mary Ann died or where she is buried. Thanks to John and Carolyn
Parkins we now know she died of capillary bronchitis on the 18 March 1932
at 28 Castle Street, Farnham in Surrey where she was living with her son
David. Her death certificate confirms 'widow of David Pratt, gardener

[The Skinner Family
c1912
The Skinner Family lived at [now] No 70 Cambridge Road, but this
photograph was evidently taken next door at the Wayman's house at [now]
68 Cambridge Road. Date is around 1912. For a larger image see Wimpole
Families. The photograph shows Charles and Ellen Skinner and
their six children. Tragically, three of the four sons pictured
here later died in the First World War. Edward Charles Skinner (d
1916), Frank Skinner (d 1916) and Harry Skinner (d 1918) are commemorated
on the Wimpole and Arrington War
Memorial.]

On the right is the Agent's House ("Wimpole Lodge" - Schedule 61 below) and the white thatched cottage beyond is No 38 (Schedule 58 above).

The 1901 Census for Wimpole ends here.
This page was moved to the new .org website in November 2019. The page has been re-headed at the top and re-footed (if re-footed is indeed a word) at the bottom. The page text above this note dated from 2003 and is awaiting resetting. I will rework the images and links as I come to them. All the census information for 1901 is complete, just somewhat untidy...
[1] The 1881 Wimpole Census is fully rebuilt as are the three 'New Orwell' pages.
[2] Following a parish boundary change in April 1999, much of the area of Orwell on the Cambridge Road, previously known as 'New Orwell', is now part of the modern-day Parish of Wimpole. [3] These pages are being rebuilt after their transfer to the new website. The basic listings remain available for reference during the rebuilding.
