The ennumerator began his peramulation at the south eastern corner of the parish at Broadway Farm and then proceeded up Stone Street, turning off up the lane by the railway bridge past the cottages to Fairstead Farm, His next property was Wash Farm from which he went north along Wash Lane turning off to go past the Rectory and the Church to Stone Street. At the top of Stone Street he went west along Grub Lane, turning down Luddon Lane (Hall Lane) terminating his task at Spexhall Hall Farm.

From the sequence of properties there can be no doubt that Captain Whitting lived at Wash Farm, and therefore this was the property that historically belonged to Spexhall Manor as described by Copinger. The enumerator followed the same sequence in the two previous censuses (see below).
