Hi David,

You can see how seldom I've been out to the archives since their move (once!). It was great when it was in the Rocks.

A printed transcript of the 1828 census has been around for many years (pub. by Library of Australian History) and can be seen in many public and university libraries and, I think, all the State libraries.

I haven't seen it available free anywhere online, but various paid or member websites have it, such as Ancestry.com.au, and presumably also the world version of Ancestry.
The State Library of Victoria appears to have a copy for members, so perhaps SLNSW has also?
guides.slv.vic.gov.au/content.php?pid=81642&sid=605796

The SLNSW would certainly have a hard copy of the published transcript.

This is the blurb about the Ancestry.com.au holding:

The "naughty" language is usually ht tp which you can include with the gap or just omit altogether - your computer will add it automatically. Otherwise anything with se x within the word, like s exton, or other more obvious ones.
I don't know what could be wrong with an email address. If you deleted the whole line and it still didn't accept it, could it have been another word?

By the way, it is fine to post about Manx-born people and their descendants in other countries. Most Radcliffe researchers will be very interested to know whether James turns out to have jumped ship and changed his name, so do please keep us informed.
