Roughy/Snook,
where can you find 1891 and is 01 the 1901 census?
and are they free?

My parents gave me details of some of my anscestors, but haven't been able to find anyone yet.
Spent ages looking on Mormons but they don't have a thing, related to me. :thumbsup:

You can find them all here...

and the 1901 census....

I managed to get back to 1730 through various sources. You do have to spend a bit of money though, like with most hobbies.

muddy i have pm you.

the 1861 census is now available on the 1837online website

Please try this.

Goes from 1841 to 1891 but it is not complete yet.:thumbsup:

Ancestry have said that they're hoping to get the 1851 and 1841 censuses online before the end of the year; they've just added the 1861 one. Just a question of waiting!
