1911 Census - when will Ancestry get it?

[andycand]

As for "Don't see the enumerators books being a lot of use" - well, that's what we've all worked from on the 1841 to 1901 censuses 

The Enumerators Books for the 1911 census are different than the earlier censuses, they only show the head of the household (surname only?), the address and the number of males and females. its a one line entry that does not give any useful information. You need the actual household schedule to get all the names, ages place of birth etc

Stan posted a link to an example earlier in this topic

Apologies - I stand corrected 

Anyway, Ancestry give the impression that all the records from the 1911 census will be available in 2011, so we won't have long to wait

Anyone know when Ancestry are going to publish the completed 1911 census?

I wonder if they'll be letting the World Archives Project transcribers loose on it ?  If they do, I'll be joining in 

I also note that the UK Postal Service appointment books should be online on Ancestry soon
