Same as Kat, I have used the view to see the names, but I find it annoying that they are in alpha. order rather than age as on the census - but like all changes I expect we will get used to it - have just had some info. today that confirms one of my bygone rellies and now have 6 siblings to find on census so will have plenty of time to get used to it! Fingers crossed. Gill

I've looked up a couple of my known families in 1901. There seems to be loads of useful info. You can always look at the image if in doubt. J

Well, I still say that ''View Other Family Members'' is vital (well...maybe not VITAL, but very convenient) for those sad mortals amongst us who spend a lot of time helping others on this site. It's one thing to look at the actual page to see any mistranscriptions and occupations and type at the bottom of the Help, ''Lucy should say Lucretia and George is an Ag Lab'' but quite another to have to search through the 30 or so people on the page to copy all their details. I have always sighed when people wanted 1891 looups, because this has always been the most longwinded of the censuses to pick up the whole household, but now they are ALL going to be like it.......:o(( Merry
