Number of secular inhabitants in Villamayor de Calatrava (Ciudad Real), 1752

The Cadastre of Ensenada offers a wealth of information for the analysis of the population and households of the rural populations of Castile in the mid-18th century. The study of Villalar de Calatrava was chosen from among the municipalities because its topographical and productive structure corresponds to that of the entire geographical region of Campo de Calatrava. The information contained in the Memoriales, which have been less used by researchers, is exclusive to the Intendencia de La Mancha. The total number of Memoriales presented in Villamayor de Calatrava (Ciudad Real) is 212 (210 secular and two ecclesiastical), with a total of 862 inhabitants; some deductions due to duplications, absences and other causes must be clarified. Therefore, the number of inhabitants amounts to 815. As in this one, in the Libro de lo personal there are different duplications, where the number of heads of household is 199 as opposed to 210 in the Memoriales.
