Census Files for Harby
These copies of the village census open in PDF
There is no village census for 1931 as the entire UK census collection was destroyed by fire in December 1942 during WWII.
The 1939 Register was taken by the Government to establish the population at the outbreak of the WWII. It partly was to look at what labour was available and what land could be turned over for agriculture. Leicestershire was to play a pivotal role in providing supplies of food.
