TO Whom it may concern: I have noticed that the template "British Census" is being put on every parish page. Since I did not like the format of it I created 2 other census templates that add additional parameters. The templates is "Suffolk Census" and "British Census2" It has to be remembered that these templates are drafts and subject to change. I would question putting the template "British Census" on every page because if one parameter changes in the template every page will have to be visited again to make that unique change. It is poor judgement to think that every parish page in England needs this template. I had Steve take the time to put a link on every parish page in Suffolk to the Suffolk Census page. Now most of those links are gone, replace with this template. <br> I do not think that the 500 parish pages in Suffolk need a link to ancestry.com, findmypast.com and the other websites. There are pages created specifically that talk about these websites and it is easy to link to those pages. From what I see someone plans to put this specific template on the 10,000 parish page in England. <br> I'm not going to go around changing that template, but if I am working on a speciifc parish, I will change that template to another one, those mentioned above or another one.[[User:Donjgen|Donjgen]] 23:11, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

It appears that there is an error with this template that causes it to look like there's an extra space so that it shows up in a blue box. [[User:Averyld|averyld]] 22:37, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

Census records from 1841 to 1911 are available online. For access, see [[England_Census_Records_and_Indexes_Online|England Census Records and Indexes Online]].
