You can get onto it through

Find my past
or
google for

1911census.

You will need to register first and then buy credits.
Its cheaper to buy £25 worth in one go as you get more for your money.
A lot of people say it is dear,but I paid £45 for my g,grandparents one a couple of years ago as a birthday pressie for my mother(its what she wanted)so I think its fairly good value,and it tells you so much.

You will be able to look up lots more ancestors as well,and its all in their own handwriting.
If you need to check that you have the correct ones first with me,feel free to ask,I will do my best not to let you waste tooooo many credits.
Saying that I spent 30 earlier on today on the wrong ruddy one myself!!

He is one of these I reckon,but its take your pick time.
"Watsons in wandsworth" are ten a penny and too many come up to tell who is in the same house as a each one.

Do you mean the White kids??
No ,because on 1841 census the ages of a lot of them are rounded off and I have seen 3/4 kids with the same age on some 1841census.
But saying that,of course they MAY be.
