An enquiry aimed at verifying family nobility with the specific objective of placing the offspring both in the militia and in the ecclesiastical hierarchy with the best possibilities of promotion, in which no concrete proof of nobility appears, but rather interrogations of the residents of the towns where they resided, referring to their employment in offices of honour and their noble way of life.

Noble families, or those who lived nobly, used to flaunt these elements of prestige in their houses, as well as in their arms and clothing, in fact, in the interrogations carried out on neighbours to verify their nobility, questions were usually asked about coats of arms and jewels, the use of horses, the service of servants and preferential seats in the church, symbols of a high social status. The Igualadas formed part of the municipal council, and this employment in local government also meant access to social and economic relations that marked their pre-eminence in the city.

]]> This census draws on the experience of the Floridablanca Census (1787). It was commissioned in 1797 and published in full in 1801. However, the data provided by it should be taken with caution; rather, it should be complemented with other historical sources. We can find data by provinces on men, women, bachelors, married, widowed, clerics, and numerous trades such as merchants, craftsmen, farmers or fishmongers.
