Hello, does anyone know of any websites where i can access census records pre 1880?i am trying to find details of a Henry Macbeth born c1828 and his wife Elizabeth Macbeth(nee Stafford)born c 1830, i have found records of possible deaths of these 2 in June 1872 when the smallpox epedemic was sweeping Sunderland,I dont have any details of where they were born but i think Sunderland.Any suggestions would be gratefully welcomed as i dont live in the area anymore so it isnt easy for me to get to the Durham records office Thanks
