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 Archives, 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:

An extract from the Topographical Dictionary of England 1831 by Samuel Lewis:
KEMERTON, a parish in the lower division of the hundred of TEWKESBURY, county of GLOUCESTER, 4½ miles (N.E.) from Tewkesbury, containing 520 inhabitants. The living is a rectory, in the archdeaconry and diocese of Gloucester, rated in the king's books at £17. 13. 1½ and in the patronage of the Mayor and Corporation of Gloucester. The church has portions in the early, and some in the later, style of English architecture. There are places of worship for Wesleyan Methodists. The parish contains an excellent quarry of freestone, and several petrifying springs
