I am writing to provide an update on the 1861 census project. Two further pieces have been uploaded to the on line database and are now searchable for free on the main Freecen site at http://www.freecen.org.uk These are pieces: RG09/1053 Wisbech Upwell covering the parishes of Outwell CAM, Outwell NFK, Friday Bridge, Upwell CAM, Upwell NFK. Please note that for census purposes this is part of the Cambridgeshire Census returns RG09/1191 Yarmouth Southern covering part of the parish of Great Yarmouth This means that there are now 416,859 (98.7%) 1861 Norfolk census records available to search free on line. Many thanks to John Seakins, Marian Seakings, Scilla Bunn, Ian Giles and Julie Bennett, without their help this information would not be available. If you would like to help with making more information available please contact me on bandys@worldonline.co.uk <mailto:bandys@worldonline.co.uk>. Please remember that spelling was not standard in 1861 so you may need to be a little imaginative with some of your searches. We have to provide a transcript of what the enumerator wrote not what we think he meant. Please see the main Freecen site or my website (see my signature for a link) for details of which pieces are on line. Hope this helps you in your research.
