Many years ago (1990s) I transcribed the 1821 census for Thornill, near Dewsbury. Think I found a copy of it in Dewsbury library local studies section, so local libraries for your area of interest may be another option to explore

I've just received a "Will not found" from the England & Wales GOV #Probate Registry. They tell me there is no probate date & probate wasn't issued, but the printed index has the date 22 Feb 1991. I've queried it but wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem? #GenHour

Loose dog incidents force temporary closure of historic nature reserve to the public | Wildlife Trust for Beds Cambs & Northants Conservationists have taken the difficult decision to temporarily close a nature reserve in Cambridgeshire to the public after repeated instances of dogs off leads.

This should not be a "difficult decision".
The clue's in the name - 'Nature Reserve'. They are not places that dogs should be allowed to access.
