Re: census query ?
Hi Mary
In 1851, 1861 & 1871 2 categories of disability were recorded, blind and deaf-and-dumb, in 1881 2 more were added, imbecile or idiot and lunatic, 1901 added feeble minded.
Take your pick! (then as now I expect it was much more difficult for those with a disability to obtain employment)
