Thanks Wend for your useful reminder about "pages" and "sites"....no need for Reggie to get so hot under the collar.
Trying to make sense of KenSE helpful remarks.......will try it that way. Thanks to Janet and Carol as well................ I thought I was going mad :-))

I think Pamela means 'page' not 'site'.

I don't see that there is a problem.

I went to the Home Page
Selected Historical Records
On the left is Census (England) with a selection that includes All Census records,
I selected all census records
Typed in a name of someone who lived 1834-1913.
Lo and behold a list appeared with him on all censuses with options to view each entry.

No need to retype the same information for each census.

Seems a flippin' nuisance. I have always used this site for seaching through the census but now its just as bad as the rest. Why has it been altered?-jl

Mellors of Fulstone- Haighs of Fulstone- Haighs of Horbury -Fowlers of Sheffield -Ashton/Acomb of Keighley-Broadheads of Mearhouse-Nixons of Bradfield- Hopwood of Dewsbury and Elland-Procter/Proctors of Malham

Hi All,
Can some one tell me whats happened to the drop down menu for the census years. I have just gone on to the censuses site and usually we are able to type in the details of a person and go from 1841 to 1851 to 1861 etc by a drop down menu but this morning I have to kept retyping the details.
Thanks,
Pam :-(
