A number of software tools for use with the 1901 census are also available:

1901 Census Extractor v2.1c (With Built-in GuessTimator)

A Microsoft Spreadsheet for copying data from the PRO Census Website results
pages and pasting the data into the spreadsheet. The page and person
identifiers are then extracted into columns, which can be sorted to
establish families. Version 2.1 now includes the GuessTimator, which will
generate Piece and Folio Numbers. The 1901 Census Extractor v2.1c is
available at:

1901 Census GuessTimator v1.1c

This little windows program allows you to enter the pageID number from the
1901 Census Results Screen. Press the button and it will generate the Piece
and Folio Numbers. It works very well - but you may have to search for
folios either side if you can't find the entries on the original piece. This
program is still in its infancy of testing and is available at:

Get1901DataV2

Researchers using the Person Search or Advanced Person Search on the 1901
Census website may find the application Get1901DataV2 useful. This allows
the results of multiple searches to be collected together, stored,
displayed, sorted, and grouped into families. It also displays estimated
(but usually accurate) PRO Piece and Folio Numbers (using a table and
algorithm devised by Jeffery Knaggs). This application was written for Win
98 but has been reported to work in Win 95, Win XP and Win 2000, too.
Get1901DataV2 is available at:
