	When looking at a census record, press at the top where it says for example "1891 England Census" in big green writing. You then get this- For more information about this database, click here. Press "click here" & it gives you info on when the census was taken & what informaion was collected. This is very useful especially for the 1841

	That's a useful list, Lorrraine - thanks for sharing it. I've written it out and pinned it by the computer where I can refer to it when I need to. (So I hope it's acccurate! lol) Bee
