This is an extract from the 1881 Census Returns for Northumberland which includes Carr Shield.
Living at number 38 Carrshield Village is Thomas Armstrong. Thomas, aged 41 years, was the head of the household, married with four children. His occupation was that of a Lead Ore Miner and he was born at Allendale in Northumberland.
Census Returns are an excellent source when doing family history. The Northumberland Record Office holds microfilm and microfiche copies of the Northumberland Census Returns from 1841 to 1901.
