Resources

I'm using a programme called Family Tree Maker 2009, not a bad little program, once I put the information in it searches Ancestry.com for matches, I can then follow any leads, that's were I've got most of the Census.

In fact Ive not set outside my house so far in searching the family history.

There are Census dating from -
1841, 1851, 1861, 1871, 1891, 1901 and lastly 1911.
A lot is written by the enumerator of the time and some of the handwriting is illegible at best.

A friend at work does not have Internet access and as such has given me her password for her account on Ancestry, this ends in October.

Also I want to say a big thanks to my cousin Marion, I've just got in contact with her and she has done the family tree sometime ago, I've learnt quite a lot that I didnt know about our family.
