Good News ! 1911 Census!

[drodgers34]

I also suspect that the birthrate is already slowing down in 1911.

Britain was a huge baby factory during the latter 1800s - as we can see in the census. The country was spectacularly succesful at producing huge numbers of people to populate an empire

maybe 3-7 is the most common number of kids rather then the 7-14 of 50 years previous

The number of births registered 1881-1890 was 1,778,048, for 1891-1900 it was 1,831,030, and for the years 1901-1910 it was 1,859,642
The number registered in 1903 at 948,271 was the highest from the start of civil registration.

Thanks for that - what I might have been detecting could have been more localised - a rural area - perhaps the flow of people to cities and the cities taking over child production ?

That kind of information was published in the Registrar General's Reports and the Census Reports, and you can look at them on the Histpop website

If you are interested in the populaion trends in a particular area then Vision of Britain is very good

Find My Past have now published their proposed list of charges for the 1911 census.

Not as bad as I thought 

Mind you I bet I'll have far more to look for than I think I do at the moment.

Thanks Carol for drawing my attention to that, no not too bad and presumably as already mentioned those of us who have subscriptions and unused pay per view will be able to use them for the 1911.  Just wish I had a few more though

so is that 3 units then

[carol8353]

I've just re-read that page and am now not sure how much they intend to charge 

They say you can purchase vouchers as gifts to view the 1911.

I'm confused

wel it says to view the census it costs 3 units but does this include the 1911 census?


60 units plan
(Valid for 90 days) £6.95   

280 units plan
(Valid for 365 days)  £24.95

how many units I will be charged?

Census image 3 units

Agreed Toni

http://www.findmypast.com/paymentOptions/subscriptions/index.jsp doesn't yet include if it will the 1911
