I hope someone can help me here.
Delving through all my bits of GR papers, I found some census sheets with no dates, and I can't even guess what they should be. They have a reference no at the bottom.
Also I have BMD lists with no date.
Is it possible to find the dates by using these census reference numbers and vol/page bmd numbers.
will the 1881 census become available?
Sorry about all this, the thoughts just occurred to me.

Researching:

You can search for BMD stuff by using ref. numbers I think - try Freebmd.

Not sure if you have all the peoples' details just not the census year?

What does this mean:

will the 1881 census become available?

Researching:
Myatt, Hanks, Eccleston, Powell, Clungunford, Birmingham

Thanks for suggestion, jan
1881 census - lots of senior moments I think. My eyes and brain have skipped over it repeatedly and I wondered if it hadn't been done.
silly old me.

You can determine the year of the census records by the "RG" number:

RG13 = 1901, RG12 = 1891 ect with the number decreasing by one every 10 years.

Researching:
Don't put off until tomorrow doing what you can do today. If you like doing it today you can do it again tomorrow. Be kind to your children for it is they who will decide which care home you end up in.

1871 - RG10
1881 - RG11
1891 - RG12
1901- RG13
1911- RG14

You can search at - http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/Default.asp?j=1

Type the reference in the quick search box at top left. E.g., ho107/1992 gets:

HO 107/1990 Shropshire 1851
HO 107/1990 Registration District: 359. ATCHAM Registration Sub-District: 1 Condover ff.1-232 Parish: Harley 1851
etc thru
HO 107/1990 Registration District: 359. ATCHAM Registration Sub-District: 2 Pontesbury ff.233-End Parish: Habberley 1851

So the piece # 1990 covers 2 of the 7 subdistricts of Atcham regigstration district. for 1851 (the high ho107 #s are 1851 and the low #s are 1841).
