Census Records
All the censuses between 1841 and 1901 are now available on a number of fee-paying (Subscription or PayAsYouGo) sites including Ancestry.co.uk, FindMyPast.co.uk, thegenealogist.co.uk and genesreunited.co.uk. The 1911 census is available in full or in part on some of these sites. We are unable to advise on the choice of site since researchers' personal preferences will be influenced by the content and search facilities offered by each site. Some sites offer a free trial.
Access to the library edition of Ancestry.co.uk is widely available at most record offices, including Worcestershire Archives, and some libraries. You are advised to book time on their computers before making a visit.
A free-to-view site is being developed at freecen.org.uk for the 1841, 1851, 1861, 1871 and 1891 censuses. Coverage of Worcestershire parishes is rather sparse at this time.
Census returns can usually be viewed at Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints' Family History Centres.
Some repositories offer census details on microform, disc or printed copy. These include:

An extract from the Topographical Dictionary of England 1831 by Samuel Lewis:
INKBERROW, a parish in the middle division of the hundred of OSWALDSLOW, county of WORCESTER, 5¼ miles (W.) from Alcester, containing 1667 inhabitants. The living is a vicarage, in the archdeaconry and diocese of Worcester, rated in the king's books at £16. 2. 1. The Earl of Abergavenny was patron in 1792. The church, dedicated to St. Peter, contains numerous monuments. At Cokehill are some remains of a nunnery founded in 1260 by Isabella, Countess of Warwick, who assumed the veil here: at the dissolution the establishment consisted of a prioress and six nuns, whose revenue was estimated at £34. 15. 11.
