I am sure I have read somewhere that it is possible to do an occupation search on the 1881 census using the set of discs that have been produced by Church of Latter Day Saints. I have borrowed the discs from a friend but can´t seem to do occupation search. Anyone know anything about this? Thanks Elaine

Heather, Thanks for your reply - didn´t realise you could do it on Ancestry so will try that first.
