I live in Dumfries and have had no difficulty access the 1851 Census pages. I suggest Lister try the direct link to the Census pages _http://www.dumgal.gov.uk/services/depts/comres/library/census_search.asp_ (http://www.dumgal.gov.uk/services/depts/comres/library/census_search.asp) rather than use Links from parent pages of the Council site. I live in Carlisle and often have problems - but then I go in from the council site....just tried the above and it has worked straight away - so fingers crossed, that is the way to get onto the site.
