Just a short note to thank everyone for their kind comments (and to the lovely Suzannah for presiding over us ). I've been overwhelmed by the response. Eventually I hope to incorporate my research into a web site .... but that's still a little way off. For those who didn't see my previous email the offer still stands ............. "As part of a research project I have transcribed the complete 1851 Census Enumerator's Books for that part of St Peters covered by Enumerator's District 1e. The transcription is a Microsoft Excel document. If anyone would like a no obligation copy please let me know. All I ask in return is that recipients proof read the document and advise me of any errors." Bryn Kincumber, NSW, Australia PS I should make it clear that this is a verbatim transcription. I have not attempted to correct any errors made by the enumerator.
