Hi all It was announced some time ago that findmypast would be releasing the census for Scotland sometime this year Well they have this morning released the 1841 & 1851 for Scotland Before you get to excited, I must say there are a couple of major problems (well more than that actually) First they have released a *transcript only* no images, so you are in a worse position than you are with Ancestrys transcript (for example you can't search across all years with worthwhile search terms on findmypast) There is a message on each result which states the image is only available on scotlandspeople The transcript is no better than Ancestry as far as I can see, a birthplace for one of mine in 1851 is transcribed as "Lismahavow" (should be Lesmahagow) So my guess is it was done by people not conversant with Scotlands geography Added to all that (if that were not enough) they have added the Scots census to the same search as the other census, ie you search for a John BIGGS you get every John BIGGS in England, Wales & Scotland The only way you can search just Scotland is in each census year, so much swapping back and forth I took out a years subscription to findmypast mainly on the back of the announcement they would have the census for Scotland I could have saved my money Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK)
