First, decide which area(s) and times you are most in need of. Then see if you can get the info elsewhere - maybe the local family history society has done a transcript of censuses? Perhaps you could join a society which owns CDs to lend to its members? Most books you can get from your local public library through the inter-library lending scheme. nell

This is the Liverpool FHS: http://www.liverpool-genealogy.org.uk/home.htm. There are several Irish FHSs listed at: http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/irl/#Societies There are sometimes CDs on Ebay, but check these sometimes go for more than new ones would cost and there have recently been some cases of dodgy CDs being sold.
