Chris Booth is not a researcher of the BRAILSFORD family name, but of the
parish and village of Brailsford.

I wanted everyone to know what an amazing job Chris is doing on transcribing
the 1881 census. He emailed me an excel spreadsheet of BRAILSFORD and
derivative names including all data for Cheshire from the 1881 census. The
cut/paste technique took approx 1 hour for this small area (44 individuals
including BRAILSFORD, BRELSFORD, and other names living in the same houses).
He is now working on Derby which has 378 BRAILSFORD individuals. One third
of these has taken approx 5 hours.

Chris thankyou! When everyone else sees what you have done they will
understand how much this will help BRAILSFORD researchers in the future.
