1911 census

[BettyofKent]

I'm pleased to have found my mother & two of her sisters, all four grandparents, one great grandfather, & a set of great grandparents. One great grandmother should be there, but I can't find her. Probably mistranscribed
I'm not impressed with the quality of the transcriptions. I've one girl down as son & male, when she's clearly a daughter with her age in the female column on the original. And yet another mistranscripton of Stutely   It's at the level of Ancestry, they must be using the same people   It should be better, the prices they are charging.

Just found ref to getting the credits 10% cheaper - there's a promotional code:

Thanks Gadget    Found most of my direct ancestors during the Beta testing and was tempted yesterday to buy more credits to search sideways, glad I resisted

I found a gg grandfather in the workhouse in Christchurch, Bournemouth. I thought he'd died sometime between 1881 and 1891!!

I've now traced him through 1891 and 1901 too. A brick wall down I never even knew I had.

P.S. There's a full list of all districts and places  with their census references here:

It's quite useful for refining/confirming your search before paying for the image/transcript.

I am very happy - smashed my brick wall during the beta test and finally know the identity of of my great grandfather for the first time!

He was the employer of my great grandmother!

I've tried relative on both sides and it can't find them.Different names and counties and ages. They should be there. Is everything uploaded yet? Is it the site playing up? Or am I doing something wrong?

  Fab, but expensive. I found my grandad in 1911.  It was impossible to resist the temptation to look at the actual image.  I'm worrying that I know my credit card number off by heart.

I found one family had used Mr and Mrs on their form and so that is how they were transcribed. When I looked I found lots like that. Try advanced searching with surname and also someone else you would expect to be in th house.

Hi

I am looking for my grandma who would have been 24 and almost certainly "in service".   Nothing under her surname - Mosedale.  Is it possible to use wildcards? I tried MOS* but it found nothing.

Any ideas?
