The Common Room / Re: Difficulties getting subscription to 1911 Census

Thanks for replies Iria and Madpants.

The link Iria posted informs you of the the £59.95 sub. then when you try to purchase they only provide the linked subscription - nomention of the stand alone option.

Just phoned FindMyPast and they say you can get a stand alone sub.  I tried again on the site and I still cannot find a way to do it.

The Common Room / Difficulties getting subscription to 1911 Census
« on: Wednesday 21 October 09 10:24 BST (UK)  »
As I belong to Ancestry (and they do not include the 1911 Census!)  I want to take out a single 'stand alone' subscription to the Find My Past 1911 Census.

But how to do it is a complete mystery.   If you go on the FindMyPast website it informs you that you may take out a years subscription to 1911  at   £59.95.  When you click on 'Purchase Subscription'  there is no sign or link to this single 1911Census sub.

I have sent two emails with no reply - has anyone else managed to do this - am I missing a link somewhere.

Can anyone help because FindMyPast certainly do not want to!!!

Dear weeMary,

You give no dates for your Jeremiah but I have found one in the Hedley tree born 1870 in Earsdon and son of Thomas Hedley 1831 and Ann Oliver.  His siblings are listed as Mary Ann 1854, George, Joseph, and John 1873.
Jeremiah does not run through MY Hedley line but I am in contact with people who have a lot more information on this particular line.
If the dates and siblings match do reply - we would be most interested.
Happy Christmas from Bo.

I thought it was seven generations that needed to pass before the descendants of a complete and utter bastard could be permitted into Paradise, 

Dear Mark,

This seems to be written with such feeling! Biologically and socially he couldn't help being a 'Bastard' but to be a 'complete and utter' bastard appears to throw aspersions on his character.
What did he do to make you call him thus???

Best Wishes (for the after-life!!)

Dear Mark,
I am confused - if there was  a heaven - why will only your grandchildren be able to enter and not their forebears??

Nice to hear from you again - I'm sure you'll get there if you believe hard enough!

Best Wishes to you and all the Family  from

Bo - (Liz in Suffolk)

 NB. The "Bo" is what my husband calls me - short for Bodicea (old spelling) "Warrior Queen" of East Anglia.  Probably not complimentary!!

Thanks to all above for replies - I have now more to go on and can stop searching in vain on Ancestry.

I think Ancestry should have a note next to the Scottish BMD link - it would save people a lot of time!

Scotland / Scottish BMD
« on: Sunday 21 September 08 13:32 BST (UK)  »
Would anyone know how to search for Scottish BMD on Ancestry. 

When you search by location and click on Scotland the BMD fold just opens and closes without revealing any links to records.

At the bottom of the list beneath (which has nothing to do with Scottish BMD) you can click on  "29 more links" but this only gives some of the Scottish counties.

If you dont know which county to search this isn't much help.
Does the Scottish BMD differ from the English BMD in that it is listed by county or do you have to go to Scotlands people and subscribe again?

Tried Ancestry phone help lines but didn't get much joy - they dont seem clued up on Scotland!

I would welcome any sort of help on this subject as I am "stumped".

Sorry Valda,

I saw the Brightmore Street and wrong "Headley" spelling and compared it to the 1901 census instead of the 1891 census.

My brain is a bit fuddled at the moment.  I am working on 4 separate trees!!

You are indeed correct.

Dear Valda,
The "Headley" you mentioned in the 1901 census is not Thomas Hedley's (1864) family.  In 1901 they were living at 1, James Street, Blackley, Manchester.

I have Thomas Hedley's birth certificate and transcripts of 1901 Census. 

He was my great grandfather too.

I have informed 'Gaffer'

Regards,
Arline (Liz)
