Robyn I do not know why Scottish Census dates were a day later than the English ones. I just have this info in my notes and have not investigated it further. Does anyone know? For the benefit of other listers, UK Census dates were 1841 June 6/7. 1851 March 30/31 1861 April 7/8 1871 April 2/3 1881 April 3/4 1891 April 5/6 Judy ----- Original Message ----- From: John & Robyn Fulton <fultonjr@bigpond.com> To: Judy Wardlaw <jwardlaw@netspace.net.au> Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2001 5:04 AM Subject: RE: [EDB] census > Thanks Judy, but why the difference.
