1911 census

[brigcs]

I have found a relative who was in an institution but nowhere on the page does it tell me what it was. Does anybody have any idea how I might find out?

Happy hunting!

Do those statistics include the X amount of times I have tried to download an image that the help desk keep telling me is there and the problem is resolved, they can see it etc so I will be able to download it BUT I STILL CAN'T

I've given up now.

does anyone know if the 1911 census will be on ancestry ??

The "sign out" doesn't seem to work for me.  A friend was here yesterday and wanted to do a search and download, so we logged in his details on my PC.  Afterwards I signed out and closed down.  But when I went in today, it greeted me with his name!

Hi everyone ...

The above is what has happened to me ...... I wonder why it won't sign off/out?

Read the info on the site and various threads here and elsewhere.

It will be where it is for a few months? and then maybe on FindMyPast by subscription.

The CEO of Ancestry said just after the venture capitalists took over that he was "Not bothered by not having the 1911, most people know about those years anyway" or something very similar.  You can read about this on the Ancestry message boards.

They will get it eventually - not sure when, however.

seems like another money making scheme, so not going to be able to follow up all the families I am tracing!!! 

At least I can use the index search to find where (uncommon) surnames are hiding out and speculate relationships thru freebmd sites.

Not going to be as satisfying as seeing the actual page I know but funds just won't allow to view - I need to win the lottery then I can get all those outstanding certificates too!

I cleared up a couple of mysteries yesterday, found my gg uncle Albert, turns out he was in the Navy not the army as my gran had insisted, and his brother Frederick, I know he'd married soemone called Florence and the name of his kids, including twin boys but have never pinned them down, found him in 1911 lodging with a Tomlin family in Greewich with a daughter caled Florence & lo and behold, twins fred & Walter turn up on the GRO with mothers maiden name of Tomlin closely followed by the girls.

I'm not going to be able to use it a lot at that price, only needed to get one image though.. but can glean a fair amount of information from the searches, I've located a few people that way and then jumped to directories/freebmd etc to get a bit more info. I can remember nearly bankrupting myself with the 1901, going to have to behave a bit more with this one!

Now I need Brecknockshire as my grandad Richard Allan Dean was born in Brecknock feb 1911, can't find his parents in 1901 or a marriage for them so have a whole branch missing hopefully this will help... if not I'm going to have a tantrum LOL

If I dont do the lottery for 3 weeks, I'll save enough to download one page ... or should I still do the lottery and see if I win the big one, in which case everyone on RootsCHat can have a free page or two on me !

I've just tried it on a couple of families and have got a lot of new info, found a few children I didn't know about and can get down to which village they are in... I've just rooted out an extra Lucas in Stourpaine (Dorset) we were a bit stuck before cos we knew the father and mother had moved Blandford way but not which village.
