Hi,
i wander if some one would kindly tell me how to search the 1891 census when i have the page reg details etc.
I can't find where to input the info i have.Just names etc

Some one has sent me the details of a family i have been looking for on the 1891,he says he has them and has told me to input this info
Richard Plackett (Head)
Jane ( wife)
Henry Richard (Son)

RG12; Piece: 343; Folio 59; Page 34

Am i overlooking something? or just daft,because i just can't see where to enter the info he has sent me!

many thanks

Thanks Helen,
I wonder why i couldn't find them.did you enter the names or the page etc?
The chap who has sent me the additional info certainly has got something wrong as he has children listed as being on the 1891 who weren't even born then!

Blue you have to go the actual 1891 census itself and you can enter piece/page num/folio etc at the bottom of the screen

thank you all very much
must say though that i think my chappie has written the wrong year on his tree,i think he should have listed it as 1901
any way thanks again
