Started to fill my 2011 census in today, but with the office phone going non-stop was getting a bit sidetracked.........and have not had the chance to carry on tonight.........am I right in saying there is no provision to include the area/town/city/hamlet/parish/hospital/tent/field/barn etc etc etc!!!!!!!! that you were born in??

Is that it!!!!!!!!!! England Wales or other

Well you have to keep up with Jones's, but tracking them is a different thing :(
I have a had a quick look at the form, but in no detail , don't even know where it is now... better try and dig it out within the next few days !!!

Researching:
Nothing.. cos I'm fed up !

Well not since 1841 has there not been an oppotunity to include your birthplace.........i am shell shocked!! Even in 41 you could narrow some of them down to that county to start off your search.

Bl**dy tick boxes!!
