John There are no census available to view after 1901 at the moment due to the 100 year closure rule. As far as I am aware there is no census online before 1871 at the moment. Some are available on CD. Take a look at TWR computing. Google for the web address Margaret |

John Depending on which counties you're needing, quite a few people on the boards have 1851 and 1861 census on disc and I'm sure you'd be able to get assistance if you placed a message on the Records Board. However, the majority of the earlier census aren't name searchable and therefore you'll need an address or at the very least a district in order to have any hope of locating them Lou |

Hi John, That's around the time you need to think about visiting a record office or LDS centre to look at parish records or earlier census materail. Gwynne |

If you have a look at FreeCEN (http://freecen.rootsweb.*com/ ), they have a "coverage" page which will tell you what they have available to search - which includes parts of 1841, 1851 & 1861. http://www.censusfinder.*com/ is a bookmark I picked up from a GR recommendation http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/ includes a list of census links There are a number of sites for individual counties (probably mostly included on the ukbmd list) such as Cornwall, Hampshire, Costwold-area. They are often the pre-FreeCEN text versions - i.e. searchable using text-strings (using your browser's in-page search), but not on multiple factors (i.e. you can't search on name + age, say).
