Free Census Project for Peeblesshire
Welcome to the Peeblesshire Free Census Project. This project is dedicated to transcribing Peeblesshire census parishes, and making these transcriptions freely available online as part of the UK Free Census Project (FreeCEN).
Data is now online! The complete census returns for Peeblesshire, for 1841, 1851, 1861 and 1871, are available for searching on the FreeCEN site.
Volunteers Needed
We are always looking for new volunteers to transcribe and check the census. If you think you can help, please contact me,
If you are interested in helping with another region in Scotland, or would like more information about the project, please visit the FreeCEN Scotland website.
