Free 1881 census on the IGI

BearPear · 07-09-2008, 11:30 AM

Sorry if this is old news, but the 1881 has been transcribed onto the IGI site and is free to access.
I have found it very useful, particularly the "next" and "previous" household. I have clicked up and down a street and found relatives living almost next-door to each other! The street names & numbers are clearer than on A*ry, in my opinion.

Happing hunting!
