Hello again Lynda, Chrissy and anyone who may have struggled with 1841 census on CDs. This has helped me. The only thing I cannot get is because my expectation was wrong. No street index for finding. You do have the enumerators notes to read through if you can somehow locate the area you want. I do not know Bradford and put in East End Bradford. It only responds to Bradford East. That sort of problem I will I hope gradually learn to tackle. Cannot understand why there is not a bit more in the notes with the CDs. ie instead of several districts called ' Bradford part of' it would really help to be told which part. However 5 Cds is not impossible to work through I guess. Might contact them about that. So back to my search . Thanks to Joyce and good hunting to everyone on the WRY trail.
