The first recorded census had occurred in 1881 with the population of Sutton Weaver being 337. A census was then carried out every ten years up until 1961. Information and statistics were available on total population, population change, gender and area throughout the time the census were being carried out. However, there were no records for the census in 1941 due to the Second World War. There is no great change in population from 1881 to 1931, after which time 1951 and 1961 there was a large increase in the population up to a total of 733, almost double the first record in 1881. Some of this may have been from the result of the post–World War II baby boom (1946–1964). When the census starts up again in 2001, the population is back down to 457, which was around the same 80 years before. This is mainly due to the boundary changes in the Parish.

The present bridge was constructed in 1926 and is a vital transport link across the River Weaver. The 90-year-old structure which carries an estimated 20,000 vehicles per day has been granted the go ahead for £4.5m upgrade. Cheshire West And Chester Council (CWAC) is expected to pay the £3.5m with British Waterways to foot the remaining £1m. Work is estimated to take 10 months.
