I found whilst adding information into the History section the population figures for Newton from census reports dating back to 1801 The population figures for Newton-le-Willows, taken from the National Census reports, starting from 1801, are as follows: 1801 --- 1,455 1811 --- 1,589 1821 --- 1,643 1831 --- 2,139 1841 --- 3,126 1851 --- 3,719 1861 --- 5,909 1871 --- 8,244 1881 -- 10,580 1891 -- 12,861 1901 -- 16,699 1911 -- 18,451 1921 -- 18,772 1931 -- 20,152 1941 ---- 1951 -- 21,862 1961 -- 21,768 1971 -- 22,080 1981 -- 19,723 1991 -- 19,198 Personally I would have thought Newton would have had a larger population, I am not sure where the boundries of the Newton that the census covers are found, with all the newer house developments in the area since 1991, I am sure that currently there will be a few thousand more people. Does anyone know the 2001 census figure? {moscomment} |
