Thanks Jean. These days, I usually note the various numbers on the film boxes in the NAI - not necessarily the same on the film itself (there are always two or three sets of numbers), but I indexed these a good while ago and don't have the three on my files. Something I heard recently from a person here in Dublin working on a lot of the Dublin census, and this may or may not be true, but knowing how much of Belfast you've looked at, you may be able to comment. I was told that the 1901 census is being re-filmed becasue of the condition of the films that already exist. Now, I know for sure, that there are lots of enumerator sheets missing on the Belfast films, can't tell you how many times I've had to go through individual forms in order to make sure that I had all the names for one street - and I know that the films are illegible because of being totally out of focus in some areas. Parts of county Cork and Fermanagh are two that spring imediately to mind. I've never met this in the Belfast films - how about you? I have seen pages for which I have to squint till I'm almost blind, because they are out of focus, but none so bad as to be totally illegible with Belfast so far. Have you noticed at all whether there seem to be blocks/streets missing when you were going through the films? I'm not familiar enough with Belfast streets to notice something like that for films I have looked at Or - anyone else - has anyone else noticed that there seem to be streets missing?
