There are very few from the 16th and 17th centuries, but lots from the 18th and 19th. I know what I'm going to be doing today!

Don't forget that your ancestor could be listed in counties where he owned property that was rented out, as well as where he actually lived.

It's worth searching without specifying the county, because the county isn't always imdexed.
