If you don't want to buy the CDS, all censuses from 1841-1901 are available to search free on microfilm [1901 is on microfiche & online] at the Family Records Office in Islington, London. Additionally, county records offices have the censuses for their counties for these years and often earlier headcounts too. nell

I'm sure there is. If you find the address of the Sussex Records office...google it... you could write and get them to do a lookup...might well only cost the price of a photocopy. Or put the requst on the Records Office Board. Good luck. Joan
