I think the internet is just wonderful. It isn't 'alf handy when you're trying to solve a problem.

It is indeed - have been searching and finding in the Canadian and Irish 1911 census :-)
Now, as that is free, why isn't the UK one free?


Just found this for you

I suppose we have to pay the cost of all the transcribing Joy.......I went on our 1911 today, but my brick wall stayed just that........he will not be found........ a nuisance because I have 40 credits.....

Glad you had better luck with the Irish and Canadian ones Joy.....

Mmm Irish census for 1911 - trying to find OH's grandparents is a nightmare, with the surnames Kelly and Lynch lol

Donegal, Cork, Galway, Wexford and King’s County (Offaly) are the latest batch of counties to be made available. Even though there is still some material missing (in particular, some Irish language returns, and corrections submitted by the public), we have decided to make the material immediately available, in the knowledge that the vast majority of our users will be able to find what they want. Corrections and improvements will be ongoing, and we are very grateful to all users who have submitted corrections to us.
