Turns out the utterly useless ONS have no population data for England and Wales before 1971, not even estimates. Unbelievable. The enormous of rubbish they have on their site, yet not even the most basic population data.
I will have to find some alternative sources of information, and make some careful estimates.
Update: This is despite the UK having run censuses since 1801.

Just one data point.
1901 census info for England and Wales here: https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/pathways/census/events/census1.htm
Quite a lot of data at http://www.histpop.org/ohpr/servlet/
Baffling. If you want England and Wales you don’t even need to fret about the ambiguity of Monmouthshire. Just get the census numbers and add ’em together.
Are all government employees poltroons? Or just nearly all?
On this issue can there be info on Wikipedia?

Can you trust anything on Wikipedia?
Population by sex and age group at 10 year intervals from 1901 is here:

http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/publications/re-reference-tables.html?edition=tcm%3A77-215593
This is a single URL, not two. Paste the whole lot as one string into the address bar of your browser. The data was transferred from ONS to the National Archives ten or fifteen years ago, hence the bizarre structure of the link.
I should have said that the above is a single URL, not two. Paste the whole string from “http://webarchive” to “tcm%3A77-215593” into your browser bar.

I think they move the older data to national archives
