Hello all,

Does anyone have access to scottish census records?

Jo :)

These are available on Ancestry and FMP up till 1901, so lots of us have access to them, then 1911 has its own site.

Ancestry has transcriptions of them but the images only available on scotlandspeople (pay to view site).

Freecen has some transcriptions - 1841, I think, is complete but not the others.

familysearch may have the 1881

Potty - re FreeCEN - not quite.
In 1841, 26 counties are completed, 5 partial (KKD, LKS, PER, RFW, SUT) and 2 have nothing (BEW, SHI).
Complete + partial in 1851 are 15+8; in 1861, 6+5; in 1871, 4+3; in 1881, 0+1.
Nothing in 1891 or later. The 1881 CAI transcriptions were only added last month, I think.

http://www.freecen.org.uk/statistics.html


FS used to sell 1881 transcriptions on disk, but the viewer needed to access these doesn't install under Windows Vista - at least I couldn't get it to do so, although Windows XP was fine.

Hi,

Scotlandspeople.gov.uk is the national site for BMD and Census including 1911. it is free to search but you will need to pay to view. However you can view actual birth /marriage/death certificates and it is really useful. £7 will buy you 30 credits which should let you view 5 certificates if you hit the correct family first time. Good luck.
