A census name index is an index of names compiled from the census
records. This enables you to search for a person by surname, forename
and age.
Indexing census names for large counties like
Lancashire or Lancashire is a mammoth task and a huge amount of manpower
is required to compile those records.
Two major UK-based genealogy supplies companies,
S&N
Genealogy Supplies and British
Data Archive, have been funding a new census name-indexing project
and making their existing databases available online at www.TheGenealogist.co.uk and www.RootsUK.com.
Thousands of volunteers from all over the UK have
since contributed to this project. The online database is quickly
expanding with thousands of new records being regularly added to
it.
Cultural, historical and geographical knowledge
of the UK and an interest in genealogy gives them an advantage in
producing more accurate results.
The results are used in published indexes and
checking of full transcription projects completed overseas.

Lancashire Census Availablility on CD-ROM and Online
You can click any underlined items for product details and/or ordering.
The census and official records of birth, marriage and death do not go back as far as parish records. Parish Records started in 1538 when Thomas Cromwell, the Vicar General to King Henry VIII, declared that all marriages, christenings and burials should be recorded. Lancashire Parish Records are a very useful resource for the years before the census began. A wide range of Lancashire Parish Records is available on CD and some are now online.
Other useful resources are Lancashire Directories, which are also available on CD.

In addition to this, S&N
Genealogy Supplies has a great wealth of genealogical data and books on
