New from
www.stepping-stones.co.uk http://www.stepping-stones.co.uk/Census Online [30.03.2005]
The following areas are now available for online viewing, each with an updated area index including folio numbers right down to the town, village and hamlet level :-
- 1851 Middlesex (including extra-Metropolitan part)
- 1851 Essex
- 1851 Lancashire
with the following to be added in the next few days :-
- 1851 Surrey (including extra-Metropolitan part)
- 1851 London (the Metropolitan borough)
- 1851 Kent
You will be able to browse the area index listings for free, and once registered, street indexes for the larger towns and cities as well. By buying viewing "credits", you will be able to view high quality (all 8-bit, 256-level greyscale) scanned images of the original Enumerators Census books. One credit allows you to view an entire film or film section, each containing on average 300 pages. We do not have a surname index, so are keeping the cost low to allow you to browse more pages to find your ancestors - as an initial introductory offer, we are offering 25 credits for £10, working out at around 7 pages for a penny!
More areas are being worked on for online viewing - keep checking the news pages to see whats been added.
