That is a good one Ann, not a great deal of detail, but a terrific overview .

It'll be very helpful for locating places mentioned in the 1841 census.

Harris

I have traced ancestors to Harris, as I live in Australia I dont know a great deal. I have also learnt it is sometimes refered to as the Isle of Harris. When I looked up google earth I saw a lonely farm house - am I on the right track?
