Peter Sorry but I have used my free access for this quarter. Once you have signed on via the SOG site (from memory) click on search and somewhere on the search page is a link to the 1841 census records. Sorry I cannot be more specific.

There may be some confusion about connecting to orignsnetwork.com If you use the link from the text explaining the Free access for members to www.originsnetwork.com you will need to log in and, if not already done validate your Society Account for 72 hours free access to the Society's datasets only each quarter. If you use the image link (which goes to www.anrdoezrs.net) you can then sign up to use the whole of the originsnetwork.com site You have to pay but SoG gets an affiliate fee. Further queries to me off list please - if this is not how it is working for you let me know - I am unable to test from here as I have a special account for testing the access from the Library (which does give access to all of the datasets on originsnetwork.com) Chris Broomfield At 11:04 06/12/2005 +0000, you wrote: >Peter > >Sorry but I have used my free access for this quarter. > >Once you have signed on via the SOG site (from memory) click on >search and somewhere on the search page is a link to the 1841 census records. > >Sorry I cannot be more specific. > >Peter >At 17:58 05/12/2005, you wrote: >>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.

I thought I would let this list know how useful my 72 hour access to Britishorigins has been over this holiday period. A 20 year 'brick wall' now has a door, thanks to Britishorgins.com. There seems not to be a marriage at the GRO indexes for my Great Grandparents CAROLINE HUNT and CHARLES FLAY. Caroline without fail on later Census gave her birthplace as Bridgwater, Somerset, but I had never tracked her down, except to find that there are at least 3 Caroline HUNT, all aged 14 or 15 on the 1851 Census. 1861 has Caroline and Charles FLAY married and living at home with Father-in-Law Thomas FLAY in Frog Lane, Calne, Wiltshire. I have a Disk from Archived CD books of 1841 Bridgewater, but after a painstaking search with no index failed to find any suitable HUNT family. Therefore access to 1841 was quite exciting as I found her aged 4. That Census was taken on June 6, 1841, which means she was 4 years old before June of that year, so probably born before the first Registration in 1837, but I am very grateful for this progress after many frustrating years. I will now have to find some way of consulting the Parish Registers of COSSINGTON. Joan Vinall 3839 in Berkshire also researching VINALL in London and Sussex BOSWELL in Oxfordshire and Surrey.
