Can anyone tell me if the census found on the net are all from the same source. In other words relatives I am not able to find on one site may I find on another? |

Well they are all from the same source but sometimes things do get badly mistranscribed on one which then turns up on another. |

But Rose, they are all taken from the same record source, the original census records. The fact is though that sometimes you can find someone on one set that you have failed to find on another. I often use 1881 on familysearch rather than ancestry because it seems better transcribed. I know a lot of people like to double check for missing people on find my past. |

Forgot to mention I am looking for the Shambrook's on the 1841 and 1851 census - have found them on later ones. |
