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 Leicestershire Census,
which comes as a set of 6 CDs. 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.
Readable using Adobe Acrobat which allows you to link to street indexes to
browse the areas and streets where your ancestors possibly lived. The CD set
covers the whole of Leicestershire as it was in the 1901 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.
