Just wanted to add that I've had lots of fun searching for free on the 1911 census, all thanks to Jonesey.

Even when you think that a family is untraceable......... don't be put off! After 10 minutes I tied a family (not using their original surname) down for someone, here's the thread;

As we all know the untraceable are there it's just taking the time and looking at things from a different angle.

Thanks again Jonesey for all your clever tips!

Things can change a bit if you have access to Ancestry's 1911 summary books.
Here's a look up for McCann in Wigan - there're several hits, but mine is at his 1901 addy, so no worries:

1911 England Census Summary Books
about Mr McCann
Name: Mr McCann
Number of Males: 2
Number of Females: 5
**Household schedule number: 213
Street Address: 7 Westmoreland Street
Civil parish: Wigan
Ecclesiastical parish: Wigan St Catharine
County/Island: Lancashire
Country: England
Registration district: Wigan
****Registration District Number: 3
Sub-registration district: Wigan
**Sub-Registration District Number: 3
**ED, institution, or vessel: 7
Neighbors: View others on page
Piece: 1345

NB Ancestry always(?) mistranscribe the RD # - for Wigan it should be 458.


You can do a free look up at http://www.1911census.co.uk/
Take the full person search, then take advanced fields.
Now I just look up the census ref:
rd458 sd3 ed7 sn213

7 results found. You searched for:
Census Reference RD458 SD3 ED7 SN213

Schedule type Last names First names Sex Birth year Age in 1911 District / other County / other Transcript Original page
HOUSEHOLD HACKETT ALICE F 1876 35 Wigan Lancashire
HOUSEHOLD HACKETT ANNIE F 1902 9 Wigan Lancashire
HOUSEHOLD HACKETT ELLEN F 1899 12 Wigan Lancashire
HOUSEHOLD HACKETT ROBERT M 1904 7 Wigan Lancashire
HOUSEHOLD MCCANN MARGARET F 1856 55 Wigan Lancashire
HOUSEHOLD MCCANN MARGARET F 1887 24 Wigan Lancashire
HOUSEHOLD MCCANN THOMAS M 1853 58 Wigan Lancashire



So now the only problem is Wigan's RD #. A catalog search for Wigan 1911-1911 code=rg at:
http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/Default.asp?j=1
gets 47 hits - typical is:

RG 14/22979 Registration Sub-District: Wigan Civil Parish, Township or Place: Wigan (part) RD 458 RS 3 ED 7 1911

An alternative to a look up at the NA is to hope some idiot has looked up John Smith in rd1, rd2, ..., rd641, and noted where they came from.
