I just found a GEROGE STOCKLEY??

Honestly, if we find this many in such a short time I am wondering if we've got someone more worth pillorying than Ancestry.  ::)

Does anyone know when they will be sorting out the 1911 census wildcard search. It still isnt working, despite me making them aware when the beta site was available. I have some difficult names, so it is impossible to find them without.

That's what I meant in my previous post - if that's a misspelling in the original and they've deliberately reproduced it, it's doing no one any favours.
