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).

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

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
