Take advantage of Findmypast's free access this weekend to all UK Census records i.e. 1841-1911. [Sponsored]
There's no time to be lost and given my readers come from all over the world, I've provided a link to the correct landing page in four different countries for your convenience.
Census records are among the most useful of British family history records. The census was taken every ten years between 1841 and 1931. Sadly, the 1931 census returns, including schedules, enumeration books and plans, were completely destroyed in a fire in Hayes, Middlesex, where the census was being stored.
Due to the hundred year rule which seeks to protect the privacy of people who are or might still be alive, they are available online only up to 1911 (with 1921 being released via Findmypast next year).
Don't forget you can search UK census records by address at Findmypast. I don't know of any other family history site where you can do that. I broke through a brickwall and found one of my 3xgreat grandfathers for the first time by searching the 1851 census records for Harmondsworth, a village outside London.
You might also be interested in reading Findmypast's blog post about UK census records released just last month. Prefer to watch a video instead of read a blog? Then try Findmypast's video on this topic.
How did you go?
Let me know in the comments section at the bottom of this screen if you had any success in finding your ancestors in any of the UK censuses.
In the meantime, happy UK ancestor hunting.

Like we've discussed in the past before, this is one of those cases where you’ve gotta inspect the watch from a few different angles to see whether link or not the flaws are found on the crystal or the dial itself. Luckily, the only flaws to be found on this piece are in the acrylic crystal, which could realistically be link swapped with link ease. Get that taken care of, and maybe throw in an overhaul of the movement if you’re feeling zesty, and you’ll have a top tier dress piece on your hands.
The most convincing argument for a display back to me is that a solid caseback is more traditional, link and the narrow-minded classicist in me finds this very appealing. But to me, that argument falls apart based link on the fact that any mechanical watch movement is interesting if you only know link where to look. Faszination der Mechanik, indeed.
Furthermore, the Newton has a cross-through balance bridge and double-cone Incabloc shock protection. link Available in two levels of execution, link Serica is using the "Top-Flight" spec, which is adjusted in five positions and tested link to run within +/- 4 seconds a day.
Josh Perez, a photographer whose work has appeared in HODINKEE Magazine Vol. 5, grew up in Miami after his parents relocated from Cuba to America. His favorite place to watch spot? link Little Havana. "This is where you'll find some old-school stuff on the wrist of the guys playing dominoes." In other words, it's link great for vintage watch spotting link in a city known for its modern glitz and glam.
