	Hi, I recently came across the most amazing website whilst researching one of my surnames, Lousley, but felt it would be well worth telling others about, as it contains not only lots of other surnames, but excellent social history of the villages of Aston Upthorpe and Aston Tirrold in Oxfordshire (Berkshire as it was prior to mid 1970s) - it's well worth taking a look.

Member Since: October 2005 Posts: 103 Send Message	Thanks for Info Nicky. In the August edition of Family Tree Magazine I had a letter published "Search the whole village" This is to find persons in Census via full A to Z listing of all residents. Using method I see that at 1901 Aston Upthorp had 53 male & 72 Female living in 27 properties. Aston Tirrold is a larger village with 143 Female & 144 male in 67 properties. By inputting just the County & Parish into Census search you will get an A to Z listing of all residents. VITAL WHEN SEARCHING FOR MIS TRANSCRIBED RELATIVES.
