I am looking for name searchable online 1841 and 1851 censuses. I tried Ancestry's 1851 but couldn't find some names I knew were there from microfilm searches. Has anyone tried http://www.thegenealogist.co.uk for 1841 and/or 1851? I would appreciate any comments. Regards, Peter

Peter I find that if you are imaginative with the 1851 index you can usually find those that you know are there. The 1841 indexes are available free with your SOG membership for 72 hours each quarter on British origins.

Hi Peter thanks for comments. I will try British Origins. I had thought our 72 hr access only cover data from the SoG library.

Hi Peter I have logged onto the British Origins site as you suggested BUT the 1841 and 1871 censuses do not seem to be available. The SoG site says "Members can view all SoG material on British Origins" which implies not the 1841 census. Can advise how I can access the 1841 census once I am on the BO site?
