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.

An extract from the Topographical Dictionary of England 1831 by Samuel Lewis:
MOSELEY, a chapelry in the parish of KING'S NORTON, upper division of the hundred of HALFSHIRE county of WORCESTER, 2 miles (S.) from Birmingham. The population is returned with the parish. The living is a perpetual curacy, in the archdeaconry and diocese of Worcester, endowed with £100 private benefaction £400 royal bounty, and £600 parliamentary grant and in the patronage of the Vicar of Bromsgrove. The chapel, dedicated to St. Mary, has lately received an addition of three hundred and sixty-two sittings, of which two hundred and forty-seven are free, the Incorporated Society for the enlargement of churches and chapels having granted £250 towards defraying the expense.
