Hi Edna and All, >ITV have bought | > Friends Reunited, and with it the right to operate the 1901 census I think they have missed the boat as they say, you can get the 1901 Census most places, it is sold on CD, all Record Offices have the 1901 Census, it is on Ancestry, some libraries have the 1901 Census, it is on microfiche. People who bought these tokens to use the 1901 Census, what did they do with them, when you could use and get the 1901 Census, as I have listed above.
