Hello,Julie. Sorry that I cannot recognize the Bulley family name as I am from Winnipeg and spent a little time in Portage La Prairie,but I am curious hoe you got into the 1881 cencus in the UK. I keep running into brick walls and some of the terms used are Greek to me. I would appreciate some direction as my family all come from England with a very common name,Harris,but I'dlike to get into that census.
