Hi folks

Thank you so much , you have gave me the information that I required.

A happy

Am I missing something? I have not had to research in Scotland but I assume that the 1881 census is available to Joy for free on the familysearch website as the England one is. There is no need to ask anyone to look up the 1881 census when you can do it yourself. Is Scotland different?

Joy Report 21 Sep 2007 13:09

Hi

Sorry if I have asked for a search that I could have done myself. I am not lazy, but to my knowledge the 1881 Scottish census is not available free on the familysearch website (which I have just checked), that is why I requested help which I was delighted and grateful to receive. To get access to the census you need to pay the Scotlands People website.
If the Scottish census is available online please advise me where to find it.

Joy,

Apologies; I did not know. Clearly in this respect (but not in their representation at Westminster and in the media) the Scots are disadvantaged.
