Good News ! 1911 Census!

[smeghead]

the point I was trying to make is that the 1911 census  should be available on monthly subscription

I have to admit with all the uncertainty about when and how the 1911 census would be released I bit the bullet, did some more research to narrow down where my family's address was most likely to be (or even with some degree of certainty after checking electoral rolls for the years before and after, and  I had to travel to Wales to do that so it wasn't cheap!)  and ordered the census from N.A. and paid my £45.00 just about to do the same to get another one, but I think it's worth it...   
and I had to save up to do it!
I haven't renewed my Ancestry sub because I'm unsure of whether to go for FindMyPast in the hope that they include it with their subscriber options? but they've decided on vouchers so now I don't know what to do...  troubles troubles....

is the 1911 census going to be searchable on address like the 1881 one?
i know it is now - i.e. pay £45

i know where my great great grandparents (one set) lived in 1911 - visited the house thanks to Sue9 who showed me the way
and i am pretty certain of who was living in the house at the time, children not being old enough to marry but all children of gg grandparents had been born by then.
and the disability section will be still excluded until 2011

I know also where my great grandparents on paternal side lived in 1911 and who was in the house etc.

so if i wanted to i could pre-order these for £45
but i am not entirely sure that i do want to - its the ones i don't know about i want to see

The 1911 census will be the first one where we will get to see the actual returns forms - all we've ever seen in the past has been the emumerators' transcriptions of what was on the original forms.  So you will view the actual forms on a house by house basis.  I'm sure that the entries will be indexed by name at some stage, if not immediately.

Good news! for me and Gadget at any rate 

According to this month's Your Family Tree Magazine Findmypast users will be able to use their ppv credits for the 1911 census and there will also be credits available on the 1911 website itself exclusively for the census. 

It would appear that it is being rolled out region by region and looks like this maybe a way of decreasing the chances of a repeat of the 1901 meltdown.  It will be available via Findmypast subscriptions eventually.

I wonder how slowly they roll at Find My Past 

One county a week,a month,every few months?

2009 is so close now- why don't they have any more info for us yet?

Still wish they weren't going to be on ppv- your credits get used up so quickly!

At least we're not having to wait another 2 years till 2011 to view it

As I understand it, the major cities will be rolled out first (presumably starting with London ?)

Don't expect anyone in my tree to be in a major city
