Member Since: April 2003 Posts: 350 Send Message	Because ancestry is used to search for census details, they have 1841 through to 1901 then bmd 1837 to 1983 It is not advisable to join ancestry until you have a lot of names to check, don't waste the 2 weeks freebie. Having said that there is tons of info on there and it is particularly useful if your ancestors went to America. Make sure you exhaust all the free information on all sites before paying out. Have you found all your ancestors who were living in 1881 on familysearch.org ? That is also the best site for IGI results. good hunting Dave
