Margaret, I have just noticed that you have posted the same request twice, I suggest that you delete one of them. Sam x |

Hi Maggie I'm afraid I can't help with the census, I have Ancestry so don't need to use 1837online for census info. As for the references, yes, you do need them to order certificates. Well, you can order without but they cost more. As far as I know, there is no way to narrow it down to a particular quarter of a year. Before using 1837online you can try www.freebmd.org which will give you the same reference numbers but for free (this site is not complete and only goes to about 1910) or depending on what county you need, some have their own BMD sites - like www.staffordshireBMD.org.uk or www.cheshireBMD.org.uk (you get the idea!). Even they will only narrow it down to a year, not a particular quarter. Good Luck Sam x |

Is there anyone out there who would be kind enough to take me step by step on how to access census records on the 1837 site. (right from signing in, yes I'm totally thick in this) I've only limited time on this site and I have already wasted some units by playing around trying to find things. Also am I gaining anything by going into the reg. index and writing refs down (ie 9c 200) hopefully this sort of ref needs to be quoted when asking for a certificate, is this right? and is there a way to find which quarter your relation was born in before you enter the index so you don't have to waste units checking the full year. Will somebody please give a guiding hand to someone who hasn't a clue how to access this site to gain the important information on it. Thanks very much! Maggie |
