I have traced my great grandfather James Gibson b.1847 in Biddulph on the 1881 and 1901 census but cannot locate him on any others censuses . (Is that the plural? ) I obtained his marriage certificate and found his father' name but where do I go from here? I am fairly new to this. I have been using FreeCen, LDS and free BMD.Can anyone recommend some sites. Are the subscription sites more comprehensive than the free ones? I'd be grateful for any help. |

Change your request to ask for a look up on the 1851/1861/1871 census giving as much information as you have. Father's name, occupation or mother and siblings names and I am sure someone will look them up on Ancestry for you. Good Luck Irene |

Definitly Ancestry - Ignore all of the negative comments on this board about it, it's the best site by far. The 1841 census is coming soon. Yearly subsciption is around £70, however I tend to use pay per view which costs about £7 for one weeks viewing including 20 census images. |

many thanks to all you lovely friendly people out there! It's great to know so many of you are willing to help other people. I shall visit this site reguarly. i have no other friends or family tracing their ancestors so it can be a bit lonely at times.Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! nice to know I,m not the only one to find this hobby rather addictive. husband bought me a lap top for Xmas. I thinkhe was rather hoping I would spend more time with him. I do, well at least in body, haven't a clue what he talks to me about! |

It really would be worth you taking an ancestry sub though as then you could really sit there 24/7 like the rest of us and wade through all the family names. It is worth it. |
