The 1901 census is said to be conplete but some of us have our doubts! It's online at www.census.pro.gov.uk. There is also a decoder which you can download and it helps to group people in to family groups. Hope that helps. Jan

Unavailable where? Both will be online 1901 census site. Both will be available on film in libraries around Yorkshire and Durham. I think you can buy both on CD-ROM from S&N. ancestry have not covered those areas yet but will be doing so over the next months. Martin

OK, it was worth trying a search from the "UK Census Collection" page as sometimes there a few bits from around the edges of a county. You can't search from the 1901 page until they add the county to the drop down selection list. Search from "UK Census Collection" using a common name and make a note of the total. You can then easily check to see when more appear - it is quite easy to see when the county has been don by comparing the total for 1871, 1891 and 1901. I think they have said that 1901 will be completed around February next year. Martin
