Population The first recorded
census of Sinderby occurred in 1881 with the population being 114 people. A census was carried out every ten years up until 1961, offering information on such statistics as total population, population change, gender and area over the time the census has been carried out. The population in the parish stayed roughly the same until 1911 when it drastically decreased to 92 people, possibly being due to the
First World War. This fluctuation appeared again between 1931 and 1961, with the census data showing the population in 1931 being 107 people and then rapidly declining up until 1961 when the population was as low as 80 people according to census records. There are no census records from 1941 due to the
Second World War. From 1961 onwards the census data changed, listing the information gathered in some places by wards and no longer by parishes. The parish consists of mainly
families, with 31 people being aged between 5–15 years old and 49 people aged between 25 and 44 years old.
