FS has all English censuses for free, but only their 1871/81 are useful - see:
https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list#page=1®ion=UNITED_KINGDOM_IRELAND

http://www.freecen.org.uk/cgi/search.pl
has WES complete for 1861 & 95% done for 1871 (Appleby was overlooked).

I prefer FreeCEN's format, but please yourself.
