I have no living relatives and the 1911 would fill in so many gaps...... My grandparents were dead long before I was born so no one around to tell me ... please release the 1911... and the 1861 or am I being greedy ? ???

Best wishes

The 1861 is available just not indexed - I find that and 1871 very useful.  For some reason 1861 has given up valuable new info.

i agree with you Mo, 1911 would knock down soooo many brick walls ::)

" am not sure the 1911 census would help so much, since living memory is able to give most of these details."
David, do you mean newspapers and books?

No - I meant the memories of living relatives. I guess I was lucky that I managed to get a pretty complete family tree back to about 1890 just by interviewing 4 great aunts.

Not everyone is so lucky.

 ;) If it were to be released early then I would hope Quinetic would not be involved, and that the transcribing would not be done by foreigners (must stress that I am not blaming the foreigners for the mistranscriptions!).

i hope people wont take this the wrong.but the 1911 census, is not so very far back, [not for this old girl any way] and i am sure most family historians, would prefer older info like parish records, e.c.t. to be freely avaliable, on the internet.so let them keep the hundred year rule. regards nora T
i am researching the timmis family salop. staffs, and cheshire, also the culverwell family, congleton cheshire,and staffs.also jervis, jarvis, staffs and wales,also reece, staffs and dudley
