I managed to get the 1851,61 &1871 cencus for Steeple Bumbstead essex through Google. I just typed in Steeple Bumpstead and it came up with a whole lot of stuff these census's included.Give it a go you never know you might get lucky.

I'm afraid that once one site has published one census, every other website does exactly the same one. Ancestry and FreeCen both have 1891, Ancestry is doing the 1901 again ... if someone is charging for it, someone else tries to do it cheaper or for free. 1881 won't be transcribed again because it is already available for free.

Sometime ago, I saw somewhere, that LDS has bought up another UK census, but I don't know now where I saw it, and which census (1891 or 1901). "Publishing date" was expected to be within the next couple of years. Has anybody else heard anything at all about this ??

The 1881 is available on line thanks to the Mormon Church deciding to share the info. The 1901 is on line to make money! There are parts of the 1871 and a full 1891 (allegedly) available from Ancestry for a subscription. The 1851 for Gloucester is available free (you can search for it in Google). If you do some google searches or look up areas in Genuki, you can strike lucky sometimes. I got a partial transcription of Gibraltar which was very useful. You never know what you might find. Good luck.

If there are any others where are they? Any idea why they chose these two to put online - just interested!
