FreeCen volunteers have completed their transcription of the 1851 Wigtownshire census: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~sctwigfc/#p1851. You can now use http://freecen.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl to search the 1851 census. Don't forget about the searchable 1851 census transcripts at http://www.dgcommunity.net/historicalindexes/census.aspx. There is also an index to the 1851 census at http://freepages.history.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~leighann/parishes/51_census/census_info.html. Sometimes it takes more than one route to find what you're looking for :-) Mary P.S.
