Debbie, you will need 2 forms of ID to obtain a readers card, one should be a passport/photo driving licence and the other a recent utility bill/bank statement. They take your photo there to put on the card.

You dont have to book for the 1911 census now

Just go on one of the computers on first floor and you can look at all census plus more.

I am off to Kew tomorrow for the day. Tuesday and thrusdays are the best days to go as it stays open until 7pm.

Good luck
