The Middlesex 1861 Census, which was originally released in 2002, has now been rescanned at a much higher quality and re-released. Now consisting of 11 CDs scanned from microfilm (not microfiche).
Please note: Censuses are organised by Registration Districts, whichDO NOTnecessarily 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.
The publishers are very proud of the superb quality of the scanned images. They've have worked from really excellent films copied from the first generation films at the PRO, and have then used the very best possible film scanner currently available to digitise the images at a high resolution.
The data on these CDs is completely self-contained, and requires no installation.
