Researching mostly Ireland but also and English connection who made his way to the Philippines via India in 1762. 
I found the 1901 and 1911 Irish censuses very helpful with finding Irish ancestors. Also don't forget that public registration of births, deaths and marriages came into being in 1864. That means if you're looking for any information that falls after 1864, it should be available (assuming that the event was indeed registered with the relevant authorities).  Other than that, your best bet is to contact the p.p. of the church for the parish your people came from.

Hello everyone
My research, for my family is mostly in Derbyshire and Staffordshire, but I'm trying to research my husband's family as well and they seem to spend most of their time moving around - it's really proving to be very difficult to find some of them, especially since at least one of them doesn't seem to like the census - he gives a fictional place on most censuses from 1881, and if I've found him in 1871 he simply states Salop with no place name.  I wish they'd stop moving around.  Counties covered by his ancestros - Dorset, Kent , Middlesex, Flintshire, Carnarvonshire, Tyneside, Lancashire, Staffordshire, Northamptonshire and we're still only in the 19th Century.
Good hunting

I thought my family was Welsh when I started into this.   I never thought that I'd be finding people from all parts of England and Wales.   In Wales mainly Cardiganshire and Montgomeryshire where  I've traced back to about 1550.   In England Lancs, Cornwall, Somerset, Wilts, Glos, Oxon, Berks, Rutland, Northhants, Lincs.   In addition some emigrated to Canada and Australia.   No wonder there are so many Joneses!

Strong start in England, Ashton UL and  Middlesex London, Staffordshire - but have jumped over to Scotland, Kirkcudbright, which appears heavily populated with my relatives (but which are mine ) - the Scottish ones are proving to be even more elusive than the English....

   MANY thanks to everyone who has helped with my virtual traveling in the UK and SCT!!

Hi drakes,

That's my problem - thought I was English through & through - now have "branches" everywhere - trouble with with Scottish ones - they only put "Scotland" down on the census - which makes tracking them a wee bit difficult!!

Cheers

Keith.

P.S. Think I should now go back and alter my vote!!

Well now that I have read all the previous posts.I will jot down mine.
My research in SCOTLAND centers around the the name WALDIE in the Lowlands Lowlands,mainly,HAWICK in Roxbugh and BRUCE in WESTRUTHER in Berwick...then the moving starts.OH YES...I think they all hired moving vans and spread out like peacock feathers,(I do have Scots PEACOCK names too)So much is unavailable to the on line researcher.My most sought after item is,Monumental Inscriptions......So far I have "dug up " two sets from Hawick,Rox,but still seek the 3 rd,of WILTON Cemetery.

Then there are several counties in IRELAND that I rake through constantly,Co Leitrim for the name ALGEO and Co. Antrim for the name HENDREN.

Then the big move with some of these folks to Canada.

This site has got to be the most friendly and helpful site on the net,I check it EVERY day.
Congratulations to all that contribute......that is what makes this web-site work...CONTRIBUTING and SHARING..keep up the great effort everyone!!!
