Census Records:
All the censuses between 1841 and 1901 are now available on a number of fee-paying (Subscription or PayAsYouGo) sites including Ancestry.co.uk, FindMyPast.co.uk, thegenealogist.co.uk and genesreunited.co.uk. The 1911 census is available in full or in part on some of these sites. We are unable to advise on the choice of site since researchers' personal preferences will be influenced by the content and search facilities offered by each site. Some sites offer a free trial.
Access to the library edition of Ancestry.co.uk is widely available at most record offices, including Worcestershire Library and History Centre, and some libraries. You are advised to book time on their computers before making a visit.
A free-to-view site is being developed at freecen.org.uk for the 1841, 1851, 1861, 1871 and 1891 censuses. Coverage of Worcestershire parishes is rather sparse at this time.
Census returns can usually be viewed at Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints' Family History Centres.
Some repositories offer census details on microform, disc or printed copy. These include:1841-1901 at Worcestershire Library and History Centre [14]

Directories:
HAGLEY, a parish in the lower division of the hundred of HALFSHIRE, county of WORCESTER, 2 miles (S.) from Stourbridge, containing 595 inhabitants. The living is a rectory, in the archdeaconry and diocese of Worcester, rated in the king's books at £10. 6. 5½, and in the patronage of Lord Lyttelton. The church, dedicated to St. John the Baptist, has been lately enlarged by the addition of one hundred and ninety-four sittings, one hundred and thirty-four of which are free, the Incorporated Society for the building and enlargement of churches and chapels having granted £100 towards defraying the expense: it is beautifully situated in the park of the Lyttelton estate. In 1754, the chancel was rebuilt of freestone by the first Lord Lyttelton, and decorated with an east window of rich painted glass. Among the monuments to different members of the Lytteltpn family, it contains a particularly chaste one to the memory of Lucy, wife of George, the first Lord Lyttelton : his lordship, an elegant historian, poet, and miscellaneous writer, was born at this place, Hagley hall and park, the delightful residence and property of this noble family, have been celebrated by the muse of Pope, and have elicited deserved eulogy from the pens of numerous tourists and historical writers. The village contains some genteel dwelling-houses, and several highly respectable families reside in the vicinity. There is a Sunday school for boys and girls, supported by Lord Lyttleton. On Witchbury hill is a large Roman encampment. [Topographical Dictionary of England 1831 by Samuel Lewis]
