1911 census on genes

[Nick29]

Yes, they do go around in circles, but I didn't say that Ancestry was miles better, I said that Ancestry's searches were miles better.  Anyone who says otherwise has obviously not tried to find a death record on FindMyPast, which has no searchable death index.

Are the images of the censuses on genes the same as the ones on ancestry? Money's quite tight and I don't want to waste any of it on a site I won't get much benefit from. I would be looking at many more than 8 records because I trace all my ancestors.

The images are not the same, allegedly.  However, Ancestry claim that their 'Enhanced Image Viewer' makes the images better.  To be honest, I've not had any trouble reading census sheets on that many pages from any of the sites. 

If you really only want to view 8 records, I can't see you getting value for money from any of the sites, including 1911.

Ooops, sorry, my eyes haven't waken up yet

Just noticed this thread and thought I would add my twopennorth:

All "records" held by GenesReunited are actaully held by other companies and you are redirected to these site via genes own website (including 1911 census both GR & 1911/FindMyPast are owned by Brightsolid),
but and here is a big BUT - when viewing any census records via Genes (with the exception of 1911 which is page per household) if your family is on more than one page you cannot scroll the pages, you can only view the first page that family appears on and will then either have to re-search or pay (PPV) to see next page.  It is all a bit of a con via GR.
