 I received this information from Findmypast today:

=============================

Glimpse everyday life in years gone by with new transport records and early censuses.

In partnership with The National Archives, we've published over 40,000 fascinating new railway and canal records this week. Including images and fascinating ephemera, these additions chart the life of Britain's transport systems in the 19th and 20th centuries.

We've also added early census records from Dorset to our collection.

Britain, Retired Railway Officers' Society

This brand new collection consists of 25,330 railway records, spanning 1902 to 1963.

England, Ludlow and Clee Hill Railway Company

This week's second new set contains 1,338 records from Ludlow and Clee Hill's railway company, covering three decades in the late 19th century.

England, Cromford Canal Company

Rounding off our trio of new transport records, we've added over 8,200 canal company records, spanning 1789 to 1908.

Dorset Early Census Returns

We've also added 2,140 new census records, which make it easier than ever to trace Dorset ancestors back to the 18th and 19th centuries.

New pages from Sunderland to Southport

338,158 pages joined our newspaper archive this week, with seven brand new titles and updates to 19 existing publications.
