Title: 1911 census up please.........................
Post by: Helina on Wednesday 07 November 12 07:38 GMT (UK)
1...William Woollacott born 1838 Gloucestershire, wife Jane.  Jane was born in Berwick, Wiltshire in 1838. The family moved to Oxfordshire where their 2 children William and Emily were born. By 1881 the family have moved back to Wilkshire.

2...Son William Henry Woolacott born 1865 Oxford, married to Rosana New in 1903. They had 2 children as far as I know William David Woollacott b 1904 Swindon and Rosana Victoria Woollacott b 1907 Swindon.

Any help would be appreciated

Very sorry, but we're not allowed to undertake look-ups for the 1911 census.

The 1911 census is free to lookup at FindMyPast at the moment.

William & Rosina, and children William & Rosina, are still living in Swindon.

Thanks KGarrad,   Found them.

May I ask the reason the 1911 census look up is not permitted on this site when other sites it is? especially now its free.

Thanks for the 2 death records.  I am also having a problem finding a marriage between William and Jane, have searched FreeBMD with no luck, and at present having trouble going into ancestry.

Thanks

It's all to do with copyright and other legal stuff!
Personally, I don't agree with this stance, but that's what the RootsChat Admin team say, so we have to abide by it.

Incidentally, the family are transcribed as Woollardt by Ancestry on the 1891 census!

Woollacott, William E  Head  M  62  Labourer, Railway Factory  b Gloucester, Gloucestershire
Woollacott, Jane  Wife  F  62  b Berwick St James, Wiltshire
Woollacott, William H  Son  M  25  Clerk, Railway Factory  b Oxford

That would be the GWR Works, then?!

Hi MargP,

Regardless of the actual legal standing of the copyright issues of the 1911 census, we have to abide by the guidelines set by the RootsChat team.

They may be right; they may be wrong; I think they are just being cautious! ;D
But, them's the rules!! ;D

I totally agree KG, I just wondered if the issue was checked regularly, or will this be the case for the foreseeable future???

All RootsChat policies and guidance are kept under regular review.  The Guidance on the 1911 census issue was updated in September - see here:  http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,355484.0.html
Although originally posted in 2009, it has been changed over time to reflect the current situation.  Advice from management is still that no look-up requests are allowed for the 1911 England & Wales Census.

Since RootsChat is privately owned and administered, the owners have developed policies and guidelines to protect the site and themselves.  As always, the moderating team ask that RootsChat members respect these policies. 

Best wishes
