Hi Stewart, I wanted to let you know, they are WAY better than a stone behind the ear! I actually beat the odds and found my GrGrGrGrandparents, my GrGrGrandmother, and her unknown brother in the Renfrewshire, Paisley, Middle Church census! Better yet, if you are one of the lucky ones, it has the full census details. BTW, I wrote to Sheila Jones of the 2% Census page to ask for the key to reading it and if anyone happens to find a relative, let me know, and I will send you a copy of the key. The Dead Person's Society site is really worth spending some quality time at. Besides the 1851 2% Census on the Scotland page, there are many other interesting Scotland items. At the bottom of the Page is all the other countries they have pages for, and they are also full of interesting and useful information. Happy Hunting!
