Hi Brian, I have just sent a reply to a Mr John ROBSON re Census info. I did not quote the exact RG numbers, Folio and page number. I am correct in thinking that there are some rules about quoting the exact Census details? Many thanks, Carole E Atkinson

The reason is that the National Archives claim copyright over transcripts as well as images of census returns, but they waive the copyright of transcripts on condition that (a) the transcript is accurate and (b) that a full reference is quoted.
