1851 Census - Query on data
« on: Thursday 26 January 06 15:00 GMT (UK) »
Is the 1851 census index searchable by individual & occupation (or where born) or is it only by name/age?

Hi Monica,
                 The 1851 Glasgow census index is only searchable by name and age or name only. The index has no birthplaces, relationships or occupations.  1851 index for Lanarkshire does list places of birth.

Hope this helps
Liz

Hi Liz

Pity. It's Glasgow City that we're trying to find somebody in and name/age only is not helping!

Many thanks.
