G'day All I 'm a very pleased to announce that we have now completed transcribing all the 1861 census pieces for the "rural" areas of Warwickshire and I am sending the last file to Pickard for upload to his pink pages. Most of these are unchecked so you may find some errors, typos etc- Just been checking through a piece for Birmingham and had to smile at one entry which added a touch of humour and made the 1861 work seem much less of a chore. It was the record for a household consisting of Grandparents and 3 Grand-daughters The middle child aged 2 years had the occupation of "Household pet" and some-one had written "Oh!" beside it (I suspect it was the Enumerator) The Team is currently working on the remaining 28 pieces for Aston and Birmingham It's been a long haul but we can see the end getting closer at last!
