First, we should add the information about where we received the census record from. This is done by creating a Repository record. To create the Repository record, start from the Gramps opening window and click on the Repository icon in the list of icons on the left of the main window. Now click the Add button in the icon bar at the top of the main window. Entry a name for the Repository in the Name field of the New Repository dialog box, in the case of the example census return it is "Ancestry UK". Select "Web site" from the Type list. Click on the Internet tab and then on the + button on the left hand size of the tab window. Select 'Web Home' from the Type list and enter the Web Address of the Repository (http://www.ancestry.co.uk/) in the Web address field. The completed dialog is shown in illustration 2. Click OK and then click OK again. You can now see the new Repository listed in the Repository view.
Now, we need to add the 1881 Census as a Source record so that it can be referred to when we add all the Person records. To create a Source record, click on the Sources icon in the list of icons on the left of the window. Now click the Add button on the icon bar at the top of the main window. Fill in the dialog box with the details of the source, illustration 2 3 shows the completed information for the 1881 Census. You should add a link to the Ancestry Repository record by clicking on the Repository tab and then on the "Add an existing repository" button (the one that looks like a pointing finger) on the right hand side of the Repository tab. Double click on the Ancestry entry in the list. In the Repository Reference Editor type "Certificate" in the Media Type field (delete anything that might already be there), then click OK to return to the New Source dialog. Once all the information has been entered click the OK button on the dialog box.
