Template talk:British Census

Content improvement suggestion
Wonderful template which will be very useful. Few suggestions:


 * 1) I wonder if the opening sentence should mention 1841-1911, rather than just 1841-1891 (although later ones aren't available on film, beginners may not know the census is available through 1911 and that should probably be the first thing, shouldn't it?).
 * 2) I would like to see a link to a more descriptive Wiki article which gives more detail. For example, do all of these sites have info for all of the censuses? Do all have a searchable index? Do some have additional features that others don't, such as search by address or parish? What is different about them which might help a user know which is best for their needs? If such an article exists, link to it. If not, "someone" should create one.
 * 3) Add a general statement telling users whether they need to check just one, more than one, or all of the sites (or referring to article just described).
 * 4) The opening sentence (see also #1, above) says film for 1841-1891, but 1891 is only on fiche.
