A belated welcome to Maureen G, P. O'Brien and Sheila Martin who joined during or immediately after the RootsWeb problem period. If you haven't already contributed, we hope to hear from you soon. ****** ****** ****** Thanks to Bill for his informative post on the 1851 census 'comments' (even if it did come twice due to the RootsWeb problems), and his later advice that the full ED descriptions are now on his Census Website. Background - The 1851 Microfiche Index ED descriptions were originally included in Musings #6 to #10 back in Feb/Mar 1999. However the compiler's of the Fiche index set, in their wisdom, left out the interesting (non geographic) descriptions. The ones that had extra "descriptive" information in the original Census books are Kilbride ED's 8, 10 & 11; Kilmory ED 1; and Rothesay ED's 1 and 16. Bill's post covered Kilbride #8 and Kilmory #1 - just a reminder that you will find the extra information for the others on Bill's site at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~buteshire1841/index.htm {Note: Rothesay ED #1 will be found under the Rothesay Link 1 & Rothesay ED #16 will be found under Rothesay Link 2} ****** ****** ****** Feel free to join in and present your own items.
