Census Lookup and Resource Requests / Re: 1841, St pancreas1851,1861

I want to add something for others in doing research. Being in America, I usually use Google. This time I used google.co.uk and found results I should have found all this time. This post was out there while I was searching for stuff just like it.

There are other search engines like duckduckgo that won't tailor the search results according to your history of searches, your demographic, your location current or otherwise...

You have to be creative in searching so if you're getting tired of searching and not finding, think about searching for other search engines and see what those engines will return. And, if you can stay focused, look deep into those results. (This post was a result on the 6th page.)

This is an old post, but I don't care. I have been researching this line for over 10 years, but I was stuck on my ggrandmother and ggrandfather (Tallulah Matteson (Powell) Bellamy and Walworth Bruce Temple Bellamy, sometimes going by Bruce and sometimes going by Walworth, his dad was Harry/Henry Temple Bellamy, spelled Harry if you look closely-having a laptop I tilt my screen and see a marked difference with the contrast- on England censuses and Henry on American censuses, Henry's dad was Alan Bruce Charles Bellamy). I have been finding plenty of info this time around, but this is the first time I have found other people that I am related to. Meeting live people is just as exciting as meeting those long gone lol

I did not know about a nun, but I knew they were really into the church with having baptisms for everyone and Alan being a Vestry Clerk. I tried to see if anyone else worked with a church, but nothing came up. It amazes me what Is out there and fully searchable yet does not return with various search terms that should pull the record(s)...like this post that was found today and I've been at it for a couple weeks (this time around). (Dig through those pages of results! lol)

I've been daydreaming about going to England to try and further my research. This series of messages cheered me up a little bit... thank you :)
