Kevin,

I saw your note re record offices becoming extra busy due to 1901 census and
I have to agree. We usually find that there is only one or two other people
in the London Archives on Fridays but today we have to book a two hour
slot - never heard of before! I hope this is not a permanent problem with
visits to record offices.

census.I would like
