 When searching census records, remember:
-**Accept the ages with caution.
-**Given names may not be the same as the name recorded in church or vital records.
-**Information may be incorrect.
-**Names may be spelled as they sound.
-**Place-names may be misspelled.
-**If the family is not at the expected address, search the surrounding area.
-**Parts of the 1841 and 1861 censuses are faint and sometimes unreadable.
-When you find your family in one census, search the earlier or later census records to find additional family members and to verify details.
-Individuals missing from a family may be listed elsewhere in the census.
-Search available census indexes before using the actual census records.
-If possible, find your ancestor’s address for the time period of the census you are searching. In big cities an address will help you find your ancestor in a census, especially when street indexes exist for the city.
