Not exact dates but quarters when registed ideal for ordering certificates as will give you the vol and pg. NOT COMPLETE though http(:)//www(.)familysearch(.)org free to search 1881 census good starting point. The records board on this site loads of friendly people who willingly search their census CDs for you for other British and American census's Happy hunting PS remove the brackets from the websites Penny
