Hi Lynne: I think the following is correct (but feel free to correct me if I am wrong) ... The earliest census was about 1841 but useful information wasn't really provided until 1851,61,71,81,91,1901 censuses were taken. For earlier records you have to go through parish records, bishops transcripts, etc. If you are looking for something specific, why don't you pose a question to the list and see what kind of help listers might be able to provide? Given my experience, they are full of all kinds of useful trivia :o) Belinda Robinson London Ontario Canada > > From: "Lynne West" <lynne_west@hotmail.com> > Date: 2003/06/16 Mon PM 04:26:33 EST > To: ENG-ROTHERHAM-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: [ROTH] RE:census records > > Hello All > could SKS advise me of the earliest census records in Rotherham.
