1901 England and Wales Census Decoder

John Burns (40+) lives in Suffolk, England.
"Ran away to sea as a 16 year old to work for a U.S. oil major as a deck apprentice, came ashore after a few years to "temporarily" assist in the office looking after foreign crew.

Eventually side-stepped into looking after the computer systems for both ship and shore establishments.
Has been there ever since and now works for the same company from home supporting the vessel's navigational, communication and computer systems.

Bought his first computer in the late 1970's, built a sophisticated stock control system in 64KB of memory running CP/M and has not looked back since. Has developed many applications since including this one. Runs his own web server hosting a number of sites including the support site for this software and the Lancashire Surname Site at http://lancslist.com.

Interests range mainly around computers & electronics, genealogy and a good book!"


His decoder reassembles 1901 census pages
but does not decode the person id numbers
