Sue, Try www(.)mycensuses(.)com ( Hope thats come up alright) They don't have the indexes but if you are prepared to trawl through this is a very inexpensive way of doing it. Allie.

Sue I have the S & N census for Kent 1891. The only complaint I have is that they are not indexed, however, an index is being prepared and can be purchase for a small sum when they are available. My advice is if your relatives are in a small area, one or two counties, they are worth buying, as in my case Kent, otherwise you do not get value for money. Gary

Hi, If it is S and N then I believe they are of good quality but have never purchased from them myself. I have 2 but they are from FHS and so are good but not ususally indesed so you have to do a lt of trawling. Suggest if you buy this type you learn how to use 'access' Not difficult but just so you can arrange how you want ie alphabetically or numerically. I find census data is limited to a few names for yourself but it's great fun helping others as well. I have sent off for another CD from this site http://www.mycensuses.com . They are in Canada and scan the info. If you want to mail me in a few days time I can tell you the quality. John
