The census is available on line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But who's, gone back and tried every FREE 1911 census with no luck his name has vanished once again ,now they all say the same thing just send us lots of cash and we will find it for you, Its not that I'm cheap(well maybe)but need to know I'm on the right track just so many Clarke's in Sheffield got nothing else better to do so I'll just keep digging:| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scallywags Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 An easy way of starting is to go to http://www.myheritage.com and start a FREE family tree. Just enter what you know. This site has a 'smart match' system that searches other trees and e-mails you with likely matches. There's also http://www.genesreunited.co.uk but that isn't quite so good. I started research through Sheffield city council they were on Leadmill Rd but not sure where they are now. Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
