    1. [ENG-DUR] 1891 census on Ancestry.com
    2. Janet Hopkins

    3. Hello Listers, I've seen a few queries recently about people looking for folks on the 1891 census. For those of you who don't know, the 1891 census is complete for England, and fully searchable by surname and soundex. I have just solved a couple of brick walls right away. There is also some 1871 available, but seems to be only Middlesex, not the rest of the country, and I cannot tell if 1871 Middlesex is complete or not on Ancestry.com . Does anyone know?

    3. Don't forget that 1891 also covers Wales as well as the Isle of Man and Channel Islands. To quote ancestry from one of their message boards "Please note: Percentages being used to calculate completion are based on Civil Registration data. Therefore, they will not exactly match the actual 1871 counts, but can be used as a rough guide. Also, we will not declare any county 100% complete until all counties have been posted and our final clean-up project is complete (thus you will see many 98% complete counties). Released 23 Jan 2004 Middlesex - 247,540 names, 97% complete" They have added Shropshire 1871 today. Several Welsh counties are also available from 1871.
