Sorry - forgot about the formatting! We are pleased to announce that we have launched the data for Lincolnshire, Glamorgan, Gloucestershire, Somerset, Hampshire and Northumberland to our existing 1861 census records on http://www.1837online.com. The counties that are now available are: Bedfordshire Berkshire Cambridgeshire Cheshire Cornwall Devon Dorset Durham Essex Glamorgan Gloucestershire Hampshire Hertfordshire Kent Lancashire Leicestershire Lincolnshire London Middlesex Northumberland Shropshire Somerset Staffordshire Surrey Warwickshire Worcestershire Yorkshire The counties that will be following next are: Norfolk Nottinghamshire Sussex We will continue to update you each time a new county is ready. Useful Tip: Wildcards If you search for an ancestor in the 1861 census and you are unsure how their name was spelt, or can't find it with the usual spelling, try using the wildcard facility. For example, if you search for William Lancaster and you type in William *caster, the search will return a list of results that include names such as William Doncaster or William Hilcaster - as well as William Lancaster. You can also use two wildcards to search for a string of letters such as *ollin*, if you are perhaps looking for a Rollind or a Collins. The wildcard is denoted by a * and can be used within all search fields, apart from ones which contain the drop-down menus.
