Many thanks, Mary. It is very clear. I will play around with this.

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Citing UK census using basic sourcing

Jennifer

Here's how I set up census citations for US censuses using basic sources. I set 
it up this way to get as close to Evidence Explained as I can. The Source 
Detail field is somewhat limited in the number of characters it holds, so I put 
the last part in the Source Comments field, and the source citation comes out 
looking like the following.

1901 England Census, digital images, St Botolph Without Aldgate,
St Botolph, London, Enumeration District 3, p. 1, household 1, Woof Isaacs 
household; Ancestry.com (www.ancestry.com : accessed 19 July 2013); citing PRO 
RG 13/262, folio 46.

To get your citation to look like this using basic sources:

Master Source title:
1901 England Census, digital images

 Source Detail:
St Botolph Without Aldgate, St Botolph, London, Enumeration District 3, p. 1, 
household 1, Woof Isaacs household; Ancestry.com (www.ancestry.com : accessed 
19 July 2013)

Master Source comments:
; citing PRO RG 13/262, folio 46.


Hope this helps,
Mary

Can some kind soul please give me examples of citing UK censuses using basic
sources? In particular, those using images from Find My Past and Ancestry.

At the moment I am trying to do 1901 from findmypast and I have all this
information for the family of Woof Isaacs:
1901 Census 31 March 1901
National Archives Reference: RG number 13, Piece 262, Folio 46, Page 1
Registration District: London City
Sub District: St Botolph
Parish: St Botolph Without Aldgate
Enum. Dstrict: 3
Ecclesiastical District: St Botolph Without Aldgate
Address: 3, North Block, St Botolph Without Aldgate
County: London

I would like to know how others cite it using basic sources - so what goes
in the master source and what in the detail.

I don't have a subscription to either findmypast or ancestry so I use my
public library's library subscription.

Jennifer
