I am about to purchase one of the above Census. Which one is the easiest to read and which if any has a name index? I am still plodding through 1841!!! and would appreciate your wise comments. Viv in Australia

It depends which county you are going for! Seriously, don't buy 1871 - Ancestry is putting it online. This time next year you'll be able to take out the 2 week free trial and do look-ups for free.
