Bear in mind that registration districts cover numerous places........so the actual birthplace may be different. Try using the county as a birthplace.................. Reg

I am having some difficulty in getting into two 1901 Census searches,as every time I try to it comes up that places of birth must be civ parishes. I have tried a place of birth as lLiverpool,also Litherland and also Bootle which are parts of Liverpool and I still cannot get through to the 1901 census search records.Also tried Cheltenham as a place of birth for another relative,no joy with that either.Can anyone out there give me any advise.I would be very grateful.Carolyn
