Where to post a census look up request
« on: Friday 13 May 16 16:04 BST (UK) »
 I am struggling to find someone in 1861. I have all her details but no idea where she could be. She was born London, then moved to Lancashire, Somerset and Surrey , so she could be anywhere.
Where do I post if I don`t know the county ?

England Forum - the top level, not specific to a County ...

It looks as though RC suggests posting in The Common Room  ;D

The Common Room
Join in and discuss more general genealogy and local history things here. If you can't think of what category, country or county your message should come under, then perhaps you could put your message here!

Dont think it really matters, but the ENGLAND 'top-level' forum says:-

English family history not specific to a county.
