hi there,
It is suprising - especially since the Scottish 1841 census went online last week without so much as a peep! However, my complaint yet again is that in all references to it that I saw on TV today, I didn't see anyone mention that it didn't include Scotland. I am tiring of seeing Nick Barratt talking about statutory registration being introduced in 1837, when this wasnt the case for all of the UK.
Anyway - rant over. I'm just glad that the 1841 is now available for all of England, Wales and Scotland now. Time to get hunting 
Cheers,
Clare

You noticed that as well did you!!
What was Nick Barrett going on about, about 1841 is where you find where you families come from before they all migrated into cities. None of my families migrated into cities, they just continued to migrate around the villages of Sussex. 1841 they were in Burwash but the 1500s they were in Ticehurst. I know that because I've seen the PRs.
Oh and my Irish contingency had already got here by 1841. By what he was saying I would have thought they had been in St Giles for centuries, not true, they had just got off the boat about 20 years earlier!!!

Hi Kerry,
I have come to the conclusion that they are very good at generalising family history on these shows where they only get 5 minutes. So they make it sound as if you can find out all this info very easily without too much hassle. I have yet to meet anyone who has just plugged everything in and got most of their tree without a hard slog.
One of the best bits that I heard on the lunchtime news was that if you find your ancestors on the 1841 census in one parish, you should be able to track them backwards in that parish as they were unlikely to have moved around before then. If that is not a massive generalisation, I don't know what is?
Cheers,
Clare
