Is there any way you can search a census by name and occupation when you don't know place of birth? Thanks Joyce

Most of the Scottish census on Ancestry can be searched by address and/or occupation Maureen

Researching:
PLEASE DO NOT: send me information concerning your thread on the board as it should be posted on your request where all members can see it. PLEASE DO NOT: ask me for help with lookups as they should be placed on the boards to get the best possible result. PLEASE DO NOT: open your tree just because I have posted information on your thread as I will not be related. THANK YOU. Researching Carter, Cass and Walker in England.
