I'm obviously a bit dumb, but what info do you get from the enumerators pages?

I agree its shame the advanced search facility isn't available on FindMyPast, but you can always "play" with the search engine on the 1911census site to narrow down possibilities before looking at the transcript/image on FindMyPast.  Its something I've had to do since upgrading my subscription.  I wasn't going to but with the credit from the existing subscription being higher than I thought, it worked out a good opportunity.

all the other census available online are just the enumerators pages.

i did find after 4 hours that there is an advanced search facility on the FindMyPast site for the 1911.
im suprised so far of how many dead children most of the people im looking at had. i knew of a few of them, but there are loads more.

Thanks to Pauline and Perth for enlightening me about the enumerators' pages.  Now I've seen the 1911 example, I agree it's a shame it's apparently no longer available.

Perth - Like you I found many families had children who'd died.  Many of them I already knew about, but some distant branches I didn't.  However, as they are "distant", I won't bother to research these children, just make a note.

As Rootschatters were interested in whether the enumerators pages will be on FindMyPast soon, I e-mailed FindMyPast at 9.23am this morning and at 10.43am had this reply:

We don’t have a confirmed date yet, but rest assured the RG78 images will be added very soon.

We are most certainly expecting this to be within the next few months and hopefully, weeks.

That's good news and a very quick response from FindMyPast staff.  Well done to them all I say.

Thanks for the feedback Lizzie and Perth. I’ve just checked out the Help and Advice section on the main FindMyPast site which appears to have recently been updated to include the 1911 census in the FAQ section. It now implies that the R78 images will be made available although unlike the replies that you both received no time scale is mentioned. Just off to upgrade my subscription and will have to trust to luck that I don’t exceed the Fair Usage quota which they have yet to divulge.

Perth, if it took you 4 hours to find the advanced search facility I might have to come back to you for assistance.
