Hello Everyone I noticed a banner advertising the census returns on Ancestry that mentioned nobody was exempt - including the queen. I've spent ages trying to find Buckingham Palace on the 1891 - even just staff. Can it be found? Lisa

Lisa, I have viewed the census for Buck house, but for the life of me I can't remember where I found it, I will have a think and get back to you, if I can remember. I expect some clever person with a better memory than me will help you. Hubby tells me loss of memory is an age thing!! Sue

Lisa A very interesting question and one I would like to know the answer to. Hope Sue comes up with the goods. Gerry

I'm still thinking hard, getting a headache. This is really annoying me now, I won't sleep tonight thinking about it. Sue

The brain cells have clicked in it's www(.)gendocs(.)demon(.)co/censusfn(.)html remove brackets. Sue

hi Sue, the 1881 for Windsor castle is at http://www.censusuk.*co.uk/queen_victoria.htm Christine

Thanks Christine will have a look. Sue

That is the 1881 census. You can search for her at Family Search - put QUEEN THE in the surname box.

Thanks everyone

Connected idea: I've tried to look for royal events on GRO lists. I've looked for Queen's marriage, Charles and William being born, Victoria dying etc etc. I don't want the certs, it's just for fun. Looked under various names and found nothing!

Ive done that too. But never found anything. I think they must be exempt from the registers.... not really that fair though because it's not like they can be used against them in any way..... how come all of our certificates are out for the taking, but they're exempt? Unfair!! Chloe

Half the problem lies in not knowing which names they used- Deaths Mar 1841 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GUELPH Augusta Sophia (Princess) St. Jas. Westr. 1 111 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Births Jun 1843 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Guelph Alice Maud Mary Princess St Geor Han Sqr 1 16 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deaths Jun 1843 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GUELPH Augustus Frederick H R H The Duke of Sussex Westminster 1 369 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Births Dec 1844 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GUELPH Alfred Ernest Albert Windsor 6 277 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Deaths Sep 1850 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GUELPH Adolphus Frederick HRH The Duke Of Cambridge St George Hanover Square 1 31 Adolphus Frederick and Augustus Frederick Guelph were sons of George III.

Thanks everyone! I'm off to have a browse :-) I hope Sue's headache has gone! Lisa

Thanks Pauline. Were they all under Windsor?
