Mike and Irene, if you (or anybody else for that matter) want to bypass the horrors of Ancestry.com re: the censuses, freecen has a large number of listings and transcribers are working very hard to get all censuses, bmd's (from 1837) and old parish registers onto the web. Cheers, Lynne. PS: links to the censuses and opr's can be found on the free bmd site
