Think I need a BEER......................

Or maybe a nice chilled wine. I know the feeling, Peter.

I am now having to decide which certificates are the most important, in order to find out what on earth my 1911 findings mean!

I expect this question has already been asked BUT why doesn't the transcription contain all the information from the census entry?

... because they want you to spend 30 more credits?

There must be loads of other sites with this kind of discusion going on, i wonder (but doubt) if anyone from FindMyPast has even bothered to get a feel for customer reactions and comments.

Will it be on Ancestry at all ??

This reply on another topic doesn't mention Ancestry, but it does explain a fundamental difference in the format of the data available.

"Hi Cant find Muriel FERNYHOUGH 1902 - Macclesfield 3Q 8a 206  on the 1901 census, Spot the Error (if you can?)
Bottom of the class for spelling, Peter!

I would imagine that exact spelling was the last thing on her parents mind in 1901 .......   as she wasnt born till 1902 she was, as they say, no more than a twinkle in her dad's eye!

Are they going to be bothered if we all keep spending our money anyway?

 But it is such a shame that we won't be able to browse this one in the way that I for one have done with the others, through An****ry. And it certainly puts the mockers on any of us trying to help someone else with their research. I can't afford to do my own look-ups, let alone anyone elses.

I've been enjoying looking at the 1901 for our families.  I downloaded as many images as I could for my money and had 10 credits left - just enough for a 'transcription', I thought.  I was really disappointed that it was only a partial transcription.

Bought credits.................. found a few................ but Grandfather Alfred Godbehere in West Riding Yorkshire still eludes me....blast him. One annoying thing about the site though..it says you can use a wildcard* and the description says use it at the beginning as sometimes Capital letters are transcribed wrongly.....It won't let you do that....throws up a box saying you can't use wildcards at the beginning......beginning to think it may be the Irish Census.....lol  (apologies to our Irish rootschatters)
