Thanks Ozi and Julie

I'm subscribed to Ancestry Julie but the 1881 wouldn't be of much help, I only have basic Genes subscription as I use Ancestry for my searches on BMD and Census.

Ozi thanks for your input, I am not subscribed to the 1911 Census as I can't afford another subscription but I think it lets you do freebies, so I will give it a go.

Thanks

You can search 1911 as Ozi says, but if unsure of name you can specify 1st letter of first or surname and just work through the alphabet! Sounds a lot but only takes a couple of minutes.

You should be able to search 1911 by occupation. You need to use the Advanced Fields. You will need at least one name though, either first or surname.

Could anyone please tell me if it is possible to search the Cenus by Occupation in a certain district and county. If it is possible, could you please tell me how to do it.

I'm particularly interested in the 1901 or better still 1911 Census of the Honley district in Huddersfield, Yorkshire.

I'm looking for Occupations in Tallow Farming and Candlemaking.

Many Thanks
