Paul, That's because I didn't know that! :-) Where are these 1841 and 1871 CDs available from? Is it Stepping Stones? I should also have added that portions of the 1871 census are already available by subscription to Ancestry.co.uk, but as of this writing Bucks and Oxon are not yet included, nor do they appear on the "Coming Soon" list of counties. I am trying to be patient in waiting for them to appear. :-) Toni <pauljirving@ntlworld.com> wrote: > Toni, > > you forgot to mention that 1841 & 1871 (at least - maybe 1861 by now) are > available on CD, but only as non-indexed images of the original census.
