The database contains census returns for West Ardnamurchan from 1841 to 1911 that have been transcribed so far. You can search by any field and/or a combination. For instance - enter 'Cameron 1911' (no commas) to find all occupants with the name Cameron in the 1911 census.
You can also use the search box at the top of each column to filter your choices. The first column, Census Ref, refers to the household, which means, for example, where an entry lists Census ref as '39', Year as '1881' and 'Ormsaigbeg' as Township - the people listed all lived in the same house together (sometimes this included overnight visitors. This also means that the census might not list somebody who ordinarily lived in the household, as they may be away elsewhere on the day the census was taken). Please note: 1) The list is in beta mode and incomplete. There may be duplications. 2) Entries are direct transcripts of census reports, which will result in frequent misspellings of names and sometimes places. To allow for this, if you enter a few letters - eg 'Port' for 'Portuairk', it will pick up any word / phrase with 'Port' in it. 3) In some cases, an attempt to identify the current name of the dwelling has been entered.
