Windham, Maine, in the 1820 Census

Windham, Maine, in Cumberland County, in the 1820 Federal Census. 

Enumerated population of Windham in the 1820 Census: 1793

Enumerator: Daniel Irish

Enumeration of Windham consists of all or parts of Sheets 164-182; use the arrow at top left of each image to page forward.

Note: the 1820 Federal Census lists the names of heads of households only; people in a household are tracked by age range and gender to determine the total population.

See the list of heads of households at the end of this post.

Note: Spelling of the names of heads of households has been left as it appears in the enumerator’s hand; in some cases, for clarity, an optional spelling has been added. Your corrections and additional information are requested; please comment for the benefit of fellow researchers.

For the following reasons, be prepared to search the entire list for the object of your search:

• Many people were not sure of the spelling of their names

• Name spelling may have evolved throughout the person’s life

• The enumerator may not have heard the person correctly

• The enumerator may have interviewed someone not certain of the name of the head of household or how it was spelled

• The enumerator may have used phonetic spellings.

• Some enumerators grouped heads of households together by the first letter of their surname, giving an additional clue on a surname difficult to read.  Note: lists by first letter of surname are not alphabetical within that letter.

• Some enumerators apparently grouped the names by walking through neighborhoods; in these cases, the first letter of the surname may sometimes be in error, but the information on neighboring households is valuable.
