I am off to the FRC in London on Thursday for the first time, primarily to do census look ups pre 1881. It's very much a one off visit so I need to do as much as possible. I wondered how easy it is to find your way round and to find what you are looking for and if anyone had any tips. Julie

Julie best tip I can give is to find the cabinets with the census returns that you want and try and get a seat nearest to them so you don't have to do much walking! Otherwise it is very well organised and easy to look at the films. Have fun! Vera
