Or are they practically unreadable? It's my birthday in 3 weeks and I could get my husband to buy me one but don't want him to waste his money. Thanks Lyn |

Hi Lynn Like any of the early census, there are parts that are unreadable and parts that look like they were only written last week! I have them both and find them invaluable, but unless you have a lot of ancestors all over Lancashire, you might be better off keep asking for lookups and splash out on something else! Lou |

Lou A belated thanks for your reply (I've been out celebrating my husband's birthday). I think I will take the plunge and go for the 1851 as most of my ancestors are from Manchester / Salford (except the ones from Ireland). Thanks again. Lyn |

Manchester and Salford are where most of mine are and they're pretty intact (although feint in parts but you can usually zoom in for clarification) so I doubt you'll feel you've wasted your money! Lou |

That's interesting Lyn + Lou - Most of mine are from Salford too. Where can you get the discs and approx. how much do they cost please.? Dea x |
