Hi List,
Many of us are fortunate to have access to the 1901 Census fiches in our
locality (FHC/Library).
If only the on-line census index could be used to locate the fiche/ folio on
which "our family" is located we could make the task of locating "our
family" amongst all those fiches very easy.
I did a web search (and wrote to PRO, no reply) based on the above thinking
and finally reached GuessTimator4.01 from
http://LeedsIndexers.co.uk/Internet_Tools.html
The program is due to the combined efforts of a number of searchers gaining
from each others efforts. Thanks to them all.
Download and run the program, it will ask if you want to go on-line. A "yes"
will put you on-line to the 1901 screen where you do your search, you then
capture your data and come off-line. The display includes all details shown
on the 1901 screen plus those hidden (pageIDand personalID) together with
(you have guessed) all you need to know to enable you to go to the local
fiche/folio where your family has been hiding! Saving, sorting, deleting and
export of the csv file are offered as options.
( I have failed to make Get1901Data work on my system so I do not know if
it will perform the same service).
