Hi Nivard You probably know about this BUT >>>>>>>>for others who may not. Actually there is a way to search the 1881 census by say "Demerara" etc. I came to this question late,so I don't know if it's been covered already,or if it's relevant. I've already found a few Marys' born Demerara,one a widow aged 60,but in Edinburgh. Please let me know if it's useful and I'll try and help.
