This definitely is a senior moment ...... Have you ever been able to download the census records from Ancestry?

Hi Annette,

I always just save to my computer... is that what you mean?

Best,
Sarah

Hi Annette,

Yes for England
No for Scotland (transcriptions only)
elsewhere - I don't know.

All the best,

AndrewP

Thanks Andrew and Sarah.

It is the Scottish transcriptions I'm talking about. I can't believe I've just noticed this and have been a member for more years than I care to remember.
I usually print them off.

So I assume I can't share these either?

Kind regards,
Annette

Hi Annette,

The only way to share the Scottish census transcriptions is to transcribe them again yourself (what I usually do.) Otherwise, I suppose you could take a screen shot of each person's record in the household...

Not as convenient as downloading the images of the other censuses! But useful to have nonetheless for searching.

Ahh screen shot. Now why didn't I think of that. Better than copying and pasting.

Thanks Sarah.

Hi
I would normally Go to print and on the print options page select Save as a PDF (this is with Windows 10)
