Thread: Census 2011 - help please

Hi readers,

I've just started looking at a well known site that has the 2011 census available. I am VERY disappointed!!! It's only showing something called the 2011 Census Summary Book, and this really doesn't tell you ANYTHING!! NO family members, NO occupation, NO place of birth... OR am I looking at the wrong thing??

No, thats all they have transcribed at present. FMP / 1911 I beleive is the only one with full transcription available. You can do search, on these sites, (FMP / 1911) but not look at the actual records

Thanks for your reply, Brian. Glad I'm only using a 2-weeks trial! Feel a bit cheated...I thought the whole of the 2011 would have been online by now.

Hi Morgana, although the 1911 census on A******y hasn't been indexed yet, it is possible to look at original census sheets (don't know if it applies to a free trial), it takes a little time but once used to how to search it becomes easier.

You can find more of it by clicking on the "browse 1911 census". Then you put in place and district and you have then to go through the whole lot to find the family you want. It takes an awfully long time but worth it if you find what you are looking for.(Thanks slizzy!)

Sorry Slizzy didn't see your message there till now.
Morgana if you give me the name and place I will have a look. Can't promise anything especially if it's a big place with lots of districts.
Have to disagree with you because there have been lots of things change on Anc. and more and more stuff is being transcribed

Hi Lola, many thanks for the offer but I have far too much to lumber anyone else - I'm using a 2 week trial so trying to pack in as much as possible!!

Thanks again,
