Hi ErikaH,
Many thanks for your prompt response, I do have Census info on Sarah in 1861 & 1871, but after fruitless searches I can not find further info on Sarah, from 1881 -1891 - 1901- 1911, even though the info is clearly there ?
Many thanks
Gary

Taking for granted that someone else's info is accurate is not a good idea.

Better - by far - to do your own research.

Have you tried to find out if she married?

Hi Guys,
I hope your all keeping safe during this never ending virus, I'm doing some family research on the Law family in Wittersham, Kent. In particular
Sarah Law b 1854.Mother Sarah Ann Lennard, Father Stephen Law
I can only find census information on Sarah in years
1861 a 7. Living in Boons Hill, Iden. and 1871 census in Kings St, Rye recorded as a Servant a 18, in the home of George H Edwards b 1809 a 62 & Henry Eastland b 1854 a 17, recorded as an Apprentice.
However through a "Tree Match" connection I have received this information,
Sarah Law
1861 RG9/557/141/9
1871 RG10/1023/80/4
1881 RG11/1017/89/5
1891 RG12/756/69/4
1901 RG13/859/62/6
1911 RG14 PN4695 RG78PN200 RD68SD1 ED5 SN1
As this " Tree Match" contact is no longer a member of Genes she can't share her tree to me, so the question is how do or can I search the above census references, to find this information please ?
Many Thanks
Gary

Thank you all once again, this information is amazing, it will take me a while to digest what you have found for me, but I'm sure I will be back.
Many thanks

if you can give the names we might beable to help you

Parish records - ie - births/baptisms/marriages/deaths.

Where did your family live?

If in England/Wales - look on FreeBMD (Sept 1837 onwards).
You might find something on FamilySearch (free site) - but be careful to search in "records", and not "Genealogies".
Ancestry (subscription site)
FindMyPast (ditto)

If in Scotland, register with Scotlands People site.
In Ireland - irishgenealogy.ie

There are also more local sites, depending on where your family came from.

If you'd like help, give us some names and dates, and we'll be happy to use our subscriptions to look things up for you.

Hi Guys,
Being fairly new to genealogy, where would I look for family information prior to the first census of 1841 please.
Many Thanks
Gary
