I have searched Genes Census records for Benjamin Dunkerley from oldham and get 2 results. Searching Census from other sites (find my past) seems to get 12, also around the date I am trying to investigate.
Is there a big descrepency in the different sites? I don't want to have to pay for another site for what should be the same information

Hi Steven, I've never used this site for searching records myself, but think you may be better trying the free trial on Ancestry.

Failing that, as Sue says, try asking people on here to do lookups for you.

I have a subscription to Ancestry so feel free to ask.
