His document citation (the kind I prefer, because it will never change)is also correct; the census of England and Wales, held by The National Archives of the United Kingdom.<br /><br />Randy, it actually makes quite a lot of sense for FMP to group all of these censuses together, because they are identical in format, although the subsequent archival referencing is different for Scotland. In fact, the Scottish censuses of 1841 and 1851 were administered by the General Register Office for England and Wales, and the enumeration books were only returned to Scotland just over a century ago. <br /><br />It's not easy getting to grips with the finer points of the various jurisdictions within the British Isles, and Americans often get it wrong (as do we Brits sometimes), but this time the American is spot on!Audrey Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17109060807297085410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-33721186633651513682012-07-28T08:26:23.684-07:002012-07-28T08:26:23.684-07:00Hi ColeValleyGirl,

Apparently, FindMyPast, for whatever reason, has put the two datasets together into one dataset. <br /><br />We are told to cite what we use, and that is what I used.Randy Seaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17477703429102065294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-80934970676718091402012-07-28T01:00:22.483-07:002012-07-28T01:00:22.483-07:00The Citation should refer to the 1841 Census of En...The Citation should refer to the 1841 Census of England and Wales; Scottish census returns are completely separate documents.ColeValleyGirlhttp://www.genquiry.comnoreply@blogger.com
