Good News ! 1911 Census!

[Tewin]

Wiltshire's there too...

The amusing thing is that they have included a transcription error on the sample transcript

There is a Birthplace of Surrey, Byflist
It clearly is Byfleet

Well the 1911 has blown my research out of the water,   from what i can see i have been following the wrong family,

Looking  at the current 'official' sit I get the impression the bulk of the transcription has been done, but they will release it progressively to avoid meltdown.

So if it goes well I can imagine the later stuff won't take that long.

Does this sound like a reasonable assumption ?

[stonechat]

No I don't believe that to be the case

  I got the email this morning, and I bought some credits ! 

I located my dad's dad, who wasn't living where I expected, but he was living with a widowed sister, which posed another conundrum (more on that elsewhere). 

The name search couldn't find my mother's family - I searched 3 different names, but no matches.  So I entered the street address & number - no match.  In the end I clicked on "Detailed Search", and entered the London district, and just the road (without the word street at the end), and it listed all the houses.  When I clicked on the house number that I'd previously entered, up came grandpa and grandma, plus 6 children.  There were no transcription errors, so I don't know why a name search couldn't find them ?

That's interesting Nick because I had much the same problem.

Searched for great great grandmum Jane Baldwin, nothing, no match.  So I presumed she must have died.

Searched for one of the sons and up he came with another brother and mother, Jane Baldwin exactly what I had searched for.

I've had to look at my in laws - my own ancestors's counties aren't there yet.

Still, I've got FIL and his parents and sister 

218 credits to use up

PS - just remembered my Peacocks in London

I've received the email, tried the link and absolutely nothing happens. I can't register, I can't buy credits, I can't get off the 'legal' page.

very frustrating!
