1911 census

[Emsworthy]

Oh wow!  I've been dying for this census to be published.  For years, it was assumed that my late Grandad and his brother and sister had another sister who died in childhood.  Turns out that there were two more!  So, what was a group of three siblings who were maybe four has now turned into six...  How many more skeletons are out there?!

No luck getting on for me - can't even ping the website.

Either crashed already or australia is locked out

Me neither!
A couple of times it lets me get so far, then says access denied! I've bought credits, so I'm puzzled as well as fed up.

I'm from Australia and have not had any trouble accessing site and downloading information.  Am looking for one person in Kent but cannot find her.  Most likely an error in transcribing and will have to try a number of alternatives with surname. 

Good to read all the advice from fellow rootchatters on how to make best use of the site and tips re searching.

Thanks to all

Could not find my grandmother with the Royal Household or anywhere else.

Found her brother Clifford and her Father Hatch but she is not with either of them.

Perhaps she is living/working at one of the locations not done yet. Sure would love to find her.

Any suggestions welcome.

Greetings from Calgary(we are having a Chinook)

I too am in Australia but had no problems getting in to the site last night and again this morning.  It is expensive though - but worth it.  I found my father and discovered he had a sister two years older than him - but don't know what happened to her because she was never mentioned.  I also found details of my father in laws foster parents. They were James and Mary Elizabeth Higham living in Woerth Street, Leeds - if anyone knows of any Higham families would be pleased to know if they still exist in Leeds.   The only disappointment I had was not being able to find my father in laws parents. They were in Leeds in 1903 for the birth of my father in law, then seem to have disappeared.   They are a complete mystery.  Maureen

Tried Google Images? 
 

Thank you for your replies
yes i have tried goggle images nothing immediately stands out but then i dont know what i'm looking for exactly

re Liverpool Street, Mike on RC kindly looked up on his 1915 map and found the location and size of building obviously as this is a ma p it doesnt show frontage of bilding or the like but its something to go on for now.

i have refrained from purchasing more credits at present simply because i do not have the money to ... but ti won't be long!

I think the corporate filter blocked it at work

Anyway its OK from home but I must say I am dissapointed the transcript doesnt seem to have the address or the piece number . Not good if you want to do a one place study etc - seems like I will have to wait for house search to do that !

One other thing - I may be cynical but the more they have transcription errors, the more likely people are to view the original - hardly an incentive for them to correct errors. And if you report an error you have already paid the extra ! - seems a bit unfair.

Otherwise its great to have a new resource

In fact it does, in a box a little further down the screen (didn't see it at first either ) - easier to see if you click 'view for printing'
