Ive been doing my winspurs in allesley barston hampton in arden etc plusi got a few land records my eyes ache looking at those old registers
jo ..the first census was taken in 1841 and then its every ten years after that so if for instance you are lucky enough to have a rellie on the 1841 which gives his age you can work back to to the year he was born...to go back any further you need to go into parish records..all very time consuming but well worth it if you are into your family history..
