Following the UK law of 100 years embargo on Census details the 1901 census for England and Wales has been published today on line. (The Irish census of 1901 has been available for many years) Of course I haven't been able to get on it because it is clogged ! but those of you in North America might try later when Europe is asleep! It is a pay site charging Sterling Pounds 0.75 per query (US dollars about 1.10). (I think there are other ways of subscribing) It lists 35 million individuals and so is too big to be published on CD. Other trivia: the digitisation from the original records was done by guests of Her Majesty (i.e. prisoners!) Seemingly they planned on having 14 hits a second and the initial hit-rate today was ten times that! The site, when you can get through, is http://www.census.pro.gov.uk And a Very Happy New Year to everyone Richard Callanan London, England. -----Original Message----- From: Ruth Enns [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 02 January 2002 17:25 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [IRE-CEMETERIES] While you're waiting!!!!
