	Family Search (Latter Day Saints) website. http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp Why? Because I've found 3 of my Irish Gran's siblings on the IGI records (didn’t know she had any at the time) and was able to order the certificates from IRELAND. N.B…….Civil Birth Registrations for all of IRELAND being added...gradually.... ………….so well worth checking it out on a regular basis. Lots of Christening/Birth records for: England Scotland Wales Ireland Isle of Man The Channel Islands. Plus some other Countries. 1881 BRITISH CENSUS: (Cannot view the original hand written document) England Wales Isle of Man The Channel Islands British Isles-Misc. 1880 USA CENSUS 1881 CANADA CENSUS

Member Since: April 2003 Posts: 2,591 Send Message	Hi The best site to join for census 1841 - 1901 & birth marriage death references & much more is ancestry.co.uk its around £80 a year but you can pay monthly, you can try it for a 2 week trial, i've been with them for over 10 years & its invaluable
