Hi, please tell me which sites are best for which census. Preferably ones you dont have to pay for :-) I also had a thingy long ago that i used with the 1901 census where it sorted it all out for you - what was that and where did I get it?????? As you can see I am well and truly past my best before date!!!!!!

1901 Census decoder from www.censusdecoder.*com (remove *) (It finds the 1901 census itself)

The 1891 and parts of 1871 and 1901 are available on ancestry (.)co(.)uk but there is a subscription. Some counties have their own listings for free. You should be able to find what is on offer here http://www(.)ukbmd(.)org.uk/index(.)php

Apart from the 1901 census, 1881 mentioned above, other censuses 1891 & 1871 are available on subscription at ancestry, though you can pay £6 to see 20 entries. If you google a place and date with the word census you may find some free transcriptions - there's definitely stuff for parts of Norfolk, Gloucestershire, Warwickshire and Cornwall. BUT they are only transcriptions, and in my experience you do need to see the whole thing. You can certainly find out what's where though. On the homepage of this website there's a Genealogy Resources section which you need to scroll down to find. That has a bit on the census in Getting Started and a section on Census Research as well.
