Now available on CD to own is the set of the Devon 1861 Census, which comes as a set of 11 CDs. The CDs contain high quality images of the census books digitised from the microfilm, and where missing pages or poor images have been detected additional images taken from the books have been added.
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.
Link to street indexes to browse the areas and streets where your ancestors possibly lived. The CD set covers the whole of Devon as it appears on the 1861 Census fiche. Features of the CD set are: the ability to magnify an area to see further detail, print the current page, alphabetic street index, and searchable area indexes.
