1851 census

 In 1851 there were 106 residents (excluding five visitors to Farleigh House) living in 19 households; 60 male and 46 female, a ratio common in ‘closed’ parishes. There were 13 married couples, four widowers and 2 widows. 37 residents had been born in Farleigh Wallop, 31 in the surrounding area and 16 elsewhere in Hampshire.14 had been born outside Hampshire; of interest are the two farmers born respectively in Lincolnshire and Wiltshire, a bailiff in Cambridgeshire, an under-steward in Wiltshire and five servants in Ireland. This suggests that the Wallop family were recruiting tenants and staff from contacts across the country and from their properties situated elsewhere. Other than agricultural labourers and carters, occupations included 12 domestic servants, woodman, gamekeeper and two dressmakers. Nine children attended school (oldest 12 years).
