This CD-ROM set of the Cheshire 1841 Census comes on 30 CDs, digitised images
of the original census enumerators' books taken from microfilm (not microfiche)
as it is higher quality. Please note: Censuses are organised by Registration
Districts, which
DO NOT necessarily correspond with county boundaries. A
set of census records for a Registration District may omit some places within a
county, and/or include places from adjacent counties.
These are very old original hand written records. The vast majority of pages
are readable, but there may be some pages that are illegible due to faded ink
and the techniques used to film the records. The scanning is done from films and
we apply enhancement techniques to obtain the best possible results. When you
order the census CDs, you accept that some pages may be difficult to read or
illegible.
Place Indexes are included in the CD set. Place, Piece number, Folio. That
makes it really easy to locate a place in the census enumerator's books so that
you can begin your searches. In addition, each 10th folio number is book marked
in the files on the CDs for fast navigation.
This is real primary data. Note that the CDs contain images of the actual
pages of the census enumerators' books. Real original primary research data.
(Not transcriptions in text format). What you see is the original hand written
documents. That does involve you reading the pages rather than typing in a name
and expecting the computer to find it. However, you will very quickly become
used to the handwriting styles of the different enumerators, and it is easy to
click through the pages at even low magnification to spot the people you are
looking for.
