WWW.dumgal.gov.uk (don't know why error appears just wait and you'll be taken into site) In the search option type in archives I have found this site to be really useful esp the 1841 census, I have just found a ggguncle who I didn't know existed!! Good Searching Lynda

http://www.dumgal.gov.uk/services/depts/comres/library/census_search.asp This link will take you directly to the census - which is for 1851 not 1841 and is incomplete. The set up of the search is excellent and easy to use, I've found many an ancestor not previously known of! K.
