The 1881 census was an event; England & Wales has had a census every
ten years since 1801. The actual ememerators' books are held by the
National Archives, and are available on microfilm and fiche at many
archives and Family History Centres throughout the world. The 1881
census was the first to be fully indexed for the whole country, by the
Latter Day Saints (Mormon Church), and is available on CD-ROM and
on-line, and is searchable by first name. That's what Malvery was
referring to. The USA 1880 and the Canada 1881 censuses have also been
indexed in the same way.
There were 5000 Irenes in USA, 1088 in Canada and 1054 in
England/Wales, but only 66 Brendas in England/Wales, 40 in USA and 12
in Canada so I'm, VERY unlikely to find an old bobbin with my name on,
though a couple of them were in Devon and one in Northants.

Hi Malvary and others,
Where does one look for the 1881 census? I have never seen an "Irene"
bobbin, and I thought it was an old name. For that matter I have
never seen a "Clara" bobbin either which is my first name and also
thought it was an old name.
