Hi All, Just to let you know that the final piece of the 1841 census (North Bute) is now on-line so the whole county is now available at: http://freecen.rootsweb.com Just a point about searching the database. Because it is an "as-is" transcription and because some of the spelling by the enumerators varies somewhat, you may need to use broader search criteria than one might expect. As an example, it may be best to use an initial for the forename as "Catherine" will not find the variants "Cathrin, Catharine, Cathn" etc. Also, work on the 1851 census is about to get underway so if there is anyone interested in taking on some of the transcription, I would be delighted to hear from you. Just drop me a line and I'll send you on the details. Regards, Bill
