Can anyone tell me if the census found on the net are all from the same source. In other words relatives I am not able to find on one site may I find on another?

Well they are all from the same source but sometimes things do get badly mistranscribed on one which then turns up on another.

Who is it you are looking for?

not all the census are the same source some are ancestry there is roots.uk and others all with diffrent info some are transcibe and are still be done

But Rose, they are all taken from the same record source, the original census records. The fact is though that sometimes you can find someone on one set that you have failed to find on another. I often use 1881 on familysearch rather than ancestry because it seems better transcribed. I know a lot of people like to double check for missing people on find my past.

That was quick!!

If you can help I would be most grateful, I am looking for

John Bartlett Shambrook christened 1831 Stepney & his father James Shambrook - mother not known.

On John Bartlett Shambrooks's married certificate 1857 it states father James as a Nut Merchant

Many thanks to you all for your replies.

Now there is a chance of finding relatives on other sites I will give it a try. I wasn't sure if they were all transcribed by the same source, and if that were the case there would be no point in looking further.

Thanks once again. Terri

Forgot to mention I am looking for the Shambrook's on the 1841 and 1851 census - have found them on later ones.
