For those of you who either don't have access to the internet, or don't wish to
pay for viewing the census online, (but do still wish to look at original census
records), don't forget that you can always buy them on CD. The bonus with this
is that you've then got them for whenever you need to look something else up in
the future.
Now available for you to own on CD is the Brecknockshire 1841
Census, which comes as a set of 2 disks. These contain high quality images of
the census books digitised from the microfilm. Please note: Censuses are
organised by Registration Districts, which DO NOT necessarily correspond
with county boundaries. A set of census records may omit some places within a
county, and/or include places from adjacent counties.
Link to street indexes to browse the areas and streets where your ancestors
possibly lived. The CD set covers the whole of Brecknockshire as it was in the
1841 Census. Features of the CD set are: the ability to magnify an area to see
further detail, and print the current page. There is also a place name index
included, to help you find which CD you should be looking at.
Registration Districts on CD 1 (HO107/1365-1368):
