1911 census

[kerryb]

Despite having been told several times conflicting messages about the transcript for my military great grandad in Weymouth, I still can't download it.  I've given up.

I am prepared to wait but the most annoying thing of all is everytime I go to site and try to download the image it generates an help desk message.  I just want to be able to quietly and surrepticiously try to download until the day that they finally upload the image and I can get it

Ha ha    Just tried again, they have finally taken away the download image button from the transcript.  They have obviously got bored of all the help desk messages too.

Now I just have to wait till it appears.  But if only they could have been honest enough right at day 1 and tell me they hadn't uploaded the image yet instead of all the conflicting c**p I have had from each different person who has answered the message.

Sorry for being a very old dunce but I do need some help with this.
My ancestor 'James William Flower' a widower was not with his children in 1911 as they were with their grandparents.
I subsequently found James William Flower and he was in an institution but there is no address on the page (have searched and so have others) and the only reference that I have is on the search page and what is shown is;
FLOWER JAMES WILLIAM (RG14PN577 RG78PN20 RD7 SD3 ED21 SN1).JPG
Can anyone please identify the type of institution and it's address?

Since it will cost any of us at least £2.70 to view the image you quoted, I don't think you're going to get many takers.  The institution was probably the workhouse, which is where people went for a variety of reasons, the most obvious being in debt and having nowhere else to go, but workhouses also served as hospitals, so he could have been ill.

Nick ... perhaps you misunderstood me ... I am not asking for someone to look it up having already done that myself and paid for it.
What I was asking is 'can anyone identify (or crack) the code on the search page (ie that reference that we need to 'click on' in order to view the page).
Upon 'clicking' I get the page that I have paid for but there is no address shown on it and this old dunce thought perhaps that someone here can decode the search reference which must relate to a particular district.

Thank you Devis ......... certainly looks like hime and very close to where he lived formerly .... could I ask how you cracked the code or,if not, how you found him ... would love to know for future reference?

I thought I should add this for the record.
I wrote to FindMyPast a couple of days ago as follows;
"I found the ancestors that I sought BUT without the father who would have been about 50 years old … so I did a search only for him and he shows up in an institution.
Trouble is there is no address shown for the institution therefore I dont know where or what it is.
I have zoomed in and out but no luck.
The search reference is;
(RG14PN577 RG78PN20 RD7 SD3 ED21 SN1).JPG
Is anyone able to provide a clue to the address please?
Joe"
and they responded by advising me to go to their 'blog' page at;
http://blog.1911census.co.uk/2009/01/tips-for-finding-your-ancestors-via-address-search/
which I did and which just led me into asking the same question of others who use the blog.
Bit of a time waster as most of the entries are seekers to the same question.

Is this thread in 'census and resource discussion' any use?

Also if you have viewed the transcript of a page, the address should be at the bottom of the page.  (possibly in 'print view' I can't remember)

I am trying to find an occupant of Holborn workhouse on 1911, I have tried various ways including wildcards and all the suggestions that have been made to others, he was born in Sweden and that doesn't even bring  his name up, I know this person was admitted 1909, I have his death cert dated March 1912, so I know where he was, can I find him, no,  I can't, strange thing is the death cert gives his place of death was Holborn Workhouse, the registration district as Shoreditch and sub district Shoreditch North West, I am confused to say the least

Any help appreciated
