Has anyone else had any dealings with a web site by the name of =
www.1891census.co.uk? The site advertises for sale extensive 1891 and =
1901 census microfiche. It provides a snail mail address, together with =
ordering details. =20
A few months ago, I ordered various Somerset 1891 and 1901 microfiche =
from them and not only did they fail to deliver them but they have also =
failed to respond to any emails or letters and their telephone number is =
unobtainable. I have been in touch with the Avon and Somerset Police =
and, via them, Trading Standards. For legal reasons, I cannot go into =
too much detail about the company or its owners in public fora. However, =
I am keen to hear from anyone else who has had dealings with this =
company (successful or otherwise!).
In short, my advice is not to order census microfiche from this web =
site.
