Find Ancestors

yes thanks sue, they had to be awkward and hold them at wakefield, more travelling (or well)

or sue your an angel, the only info that i have is basic, i have halifax parishchurch,halifax west yorkshire, st johns halifax west yorkshire st augustines halifax west yorkshire st james halifax west yorkshire i have record of graydons hx parish 1766 would like earlier. i hope this is what you mean by area. the above was mainly supplied by census material.

would they have been any other kind of register prior to 1841,

You will not find any census info earlier than 1841, and that only if someone has the disks. Reg

Sorry, only have 1851-1901 available at the mo.

thanks reg, carrie the earliest details i have is james graydon b/1766 halifax west yorkshire, married ann whittaker at the halifax parish church,8/10/1794 and died 1841 southgate halifax. i have loads more but would be here all day typing them in. thankyou. i would really love to move a next step back

What are the particular peoples details, name age, who with and which Cenus are you mainly interested in? Carrie

The decoder only works with the official PRO site for 1901 census. Google census decoder and follow the instructions. You won't find out from the census where people worked. The census only records the occupation.........not where they were employed, unless they worked on an estate, and lived there. Reg

sorry carrie i posted that q whilst somebody else was posting theres didnt see it. i have just tried to download the decoder on familysearch wont allow me to. i am searching for any info on the graydon family all born halifax west yorkshire. i have lots of info already was hoping to get more address and occupationd on them all thought the census may be able to help. trying to find if they worked at the dean clough mills halifaxas a lot of them was in the textile industry. if i can confirm i may be able to get access to the mills files via the halifax libary.

Thought we just did Tracey:))) but what s it your looking for

Reggie, what is the PRO site? I would like to have a look at that.. Thanks Sara

thank you everybody can anybody help with the 2nd question please

Tracey Q2, have you tried www(.)familysearch(.)org its the only one to help. Q1, If you know the full name, age and area they were born it may not be as hard as you think, why not let us try. Carrie

Ancestry is offering 1881 and 1901 free at present 1881 is permanently free on www.familysearch.org 1901 can be searched on the PRO site.....if you download the free decoder, you can group together all people of same surname who appear on the same census page. Reg

you can see for free 1881 on www.familysearch.org and 1881 also on ancestry and also 1901. Or ask on here if you have got details Jeanette it would be best then on family search for 1881 as it showes address and occ then come on here for other census look ups

i am looking for 2 names logan, graydon was hoping to trawl through the census to find some occs,and addresses i couldnt ask you to do that it would take ages, ever so kind offer though. thankyou

Can help with question 1 - who are you looking for and I will try to find them. Lol Sara

could somebody tell me what site is doing free census look ups please ----------------------------------------------------------------------- and does anybody know how i can find rellies in the 1700 and backwards i am finding it difficult now,nobody said anything was easy lol THANKYOU.
