Hi List,

Maybe some of you already know this, but by "accident" yesterday, I discovered that Ancestry.com has started to post the 1841 Census. I have subscriptions to both the US and UK census, and you can't access the '41 by going into the UK Census Collection and choosing it as they still only have 1851-1901 listed in the drop-down. If you go to their home page: www.ancestry.com and type in a name to search with country and county, it will bring up all the databases with that criteria. At the end of the census list, click on "View all Results," and if there is a listing available in 1841, it will bring it up. If you have a subscription, try it.

It doesn't look like they have everything posted or transcribed, however, as I couldn't find one of my families that I know is in the 1841. Of course, it may be transcribed incorrectly.
