Are there any census records which are free to view?

Question

The 1901 census is £5 for 7 days, any tips geneology people?

Answer 1

Here in the UK only the 1881 census is completely free to view. I have access to all census through www.ancestry.co.uk and I'm quite happy to do a  look up for you.

Answer 2

As others have said 1881 is free on the LDS website.

You can also try FreeCEN at

http://www.freecen.org.uk

It's not complete but you might be lucky and they may have transcribed areas of interest to you.

Answer 3

The USA 1880, UK 1881 (without Scotland) and the Canadian 1881 are on

Unless you put it in your question, we can't tell what country you are in. It is the most frustrating thing Y!A does. Even if you go in through Y!A Australia, Y!A Canada or ordinary Y!A, all the questions in English go into one big "pot". I'm in California, for instance.

I'm guessing you are in the UK.
