Leatherworkers in Walsall in 1841

The list below has been compiled from microfiche copies of the national 1841 census, held by the Walsall Local History Centre.

Leatherworkers only are included in the above list. The list does not include workers in the closely allied metalworking trades, for example "harness platers" and "saddle tree makers", and boot and shoemakers have also been omitted.

The abbreviation "app." in the occupational column indicates an apprentice. In many cases the census does not specify the apprentice's craft, but it has been assumed that where an apprentice is lodging in the house of a master craftsman they are training in the same craft. For example if the head of household is recorded as a saddler the likelihood is that any "apprentices" lodging in the house are trainee saddlers, unless the census specifies otherwise.

Sections of the microfiche copies of the census at the Local History Centre have proved very difficult to read and there is some uncertainty about a number of the names shown above, indicated by names in brackets.
