I've messed up already - against my better judgement I purchased some credits, found my chap, downloaded the page (not transcript) and ......?
Wrong one!!!! 
I really thought I'd nailed him! Very disappointed and I feel a teensy little bit ripped off.

I've followed the link from findmypast.com but the site won't load on my computer.

No it doesn't work that way round, but if you go to

http://www.1911census.co.uk

as suggested by others, you can log on using your FindMyPast log on details.  I already had some credits (although I do have a sub) as in the early days FindMyPast used to give you credits when you notified them of transcript errors.  I wondered what I was going to do with them. Unfortunately, I only had 14 and I've just spent 10 looking at the record of my g.uncle.  I now know that after leaving an orphanage in 1908 and joining the army, he was at barracks at Aldershot in 1911 with other members of his regiment.  Now I'll have to buy more credits to look at the transcription.

Unfortunately, my brick wall is still there.  My g.grandfather lived in E.Yorks, so not showing yet, but I'm not sure there is anything on the 1911 census that would point to his background, that is not on the 1890 and 1901 census.  I need to know his mother's name and nationality.

I suppose it's cheaper than getting the wrong BMD cert    So far i've been lucky with my own line. Not had much luck with a friend's though  

I see that there are now a few requests for 1911 look ups cropping up on the forum and all getting similar replies. Wonder if there's any way of making it clear that it is expensive.

For those disappointed at not finding a male relative, bear in mind the Overseas Army and Navy sections are still to be added.   Plenty of young/ish men will be skulking there!
