The following is ta quote from Tracing your Ancestors in The National Archives, 7th Edition.

"Content of the 1801-1831 censuses

The censuses of 10 March 1801, 27 May 1811, 28 May 1821 and 29 May 1831 were confined to the compilation of numerical totals (by parish) of the following: houses habited and uninhabited; families; men and women; occupations (in broad categories); and various statistics of birth, marriages and burials. A partial enumeration of age was taken in 1821 and a more extensive investigation into occupations took place in 1831. People’s names were not recorded in the official returns for these years."
