Hi all I posted regarding my YOELLs connection earlier and wondered what the availability of early census records was for Portsea / Portsmouth Is it possible that there was a concientious scribe in these area's taking early census?? as I know that in isolated pockets around the country there are "some" early census with names taken ( knowing my luck, I doubt it !! <g> ) Best wishes Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (born Leicestershire)
