1921 census

[louisa maud]

Why  does  it  seem so  complicated, 1911  wasn't,  I  don't  need  much on there as  I  know most of the  onfo,    just  want to  find my 2 elusive relations.

Would any of the forces  be  listed  does anyone  know?

A great uncle of mine shows as Royal Navy.
My grandfather is also there as  an Army Sergeant (neither are on  leave, so with other servicemen)
So I'd expect them to be there

Please could someone point me in the right direction for some info about the employment codes written on in green?

Sargie - as PamelaJ says, just restart your search and you will see that your original purchase is marked up.  Just click on that and you will be taken to your original result (you won't be asked to pay again) and the filmstrip is there.
Thanks, I’ve got them now. It’s a rather convoluted way of doing it. I’ll make sure that I look at the addresses before they go in to My Records in future!

[sargie]

If you go back and search again from scratch you can see the household you saved along with all the other bits and then save them separately. Each thing needs to be saved individually. If you haven't saved things they won't be in your records with the household.

. Thanks Pamela, that’s what I’ll do in future 👍

Just go back to the start of the process and search for those people again as if it was the first time.  In the results list you should see them listed and, if you have already viewed them the camera icon will be ticked.  This means that you can view that image again without being charged again.  You then have extra materials etc available to you.

Coombs, did you buy the transcript or image? If it was the image then you should be able to access the "front" page/image that has the address, as explained by Boongie Pam on a earlier post.

(I'm not sure about transcripts as I haven't bought any of those.)

Ah thanks. I bought the image, not the transcript.

im feeling incredibly let down by both ancestry and find my past,  with ancestry they are my main search source/storage, and i have been with them since 2008, i had a worldwide subscription with them, i suspended my account last year as i felt that i had exhausted all i could out of them until the 1921 cencus was released,  find my past was a similar story but i tended to pay for credits as and when i needed with them.

so along comes the much awaited 6 jan 2022! and like many others wanted to continue my halted research, so i contacted ancestry to double check which level of cover would give me access to the 1921 cencus, i was told the worldwide would give me that so today with a bit more freetime i brought my account back into life! only to discover nope it doesnt give you access! none of their services do that, so i got on the phone and have been refunded.

i then go on find my past, and yes according to the screen i can pay £16.99 per month for the pro service and that gives me access on a rolling monthly basis, great so i pay for that and off i  go to search for the missing info i needed, so struggling on i decided to search for names i knew exactly where they where at the time of the cencus, nope nothing, in fact no records for the 1921 where available! what? not again, so on the phone and find out that nope you cant have access that way either. the only way is to pay the £2.50 for the transcript or the £3.50 for the copy! so it looks like im brick walled yet again and neither companies will be getting any money out of me until such a time they merge into their normal offerings for each subscription, but i just cant hep feel really let down by all the hype over this.

Apologies - dawnkaren - BUT FindMyPast have NEVER said that the 1921 census would be free, even to those of us who have paid full subscriptions for years.  We ALL have to pay extra for results, as we had to pay for 1939 Register entries for some time, and the 1911 census for some time.  Eventually, the 1921 images will be incorporated into the normal subscription, but we don't know when, nor do we know when Ancestry may or may not have access.

If you can travel to The National Archives in London, Central Library in Manchester or somewhere (can't remember where) in Wales, then I understand that you are able to access the records for free.
