Find Ancestors

Helen I wouldnt be able to resist buying 60 credits to solve your mystery.

Go on do it only 6 95 and all solved. Only wish NR Yorkshire and Durham were done. Hoping to find my grandmother living with some relative. Shes a nursechild in 1891 and a lodger in 1901.
More than likely she will be a servant in 1911

Rambling Rose,
Many thanks for answering most of my questions regarding the 1911 census. It is good to see you are still on here. I haven't managed much research since I moved almost two years ago but I am anxious to find my father's family to see how many children there were in 1911. I think I may well splash out on this.
Can anyone tell me what the subscription to FMP actually covers? I subscribed to it when it was 1847 on line and found a great deal of information.

Regarding asking for look-ups.

People have been asking for long and weary for look-ups on Scotlandspeople, so this is not new.

I have helped many a time in the past using my own credits on Scotlandspeople and would really love to ask for help in the 1911 census.

I need info for (one) household only to answer a long standing query.

However, I am put off asking ..... and I can understand why.

I must agree with Rose on this one the cost is mad!!! and people are asking

I have helpped 3 people now but I dont mind as so many people have helpped me in the past and I,ve been REALLY greatful for thier help so am only repaying that .........................

BUT I did do my look ups first and I dont pass it on unless I get a lot of details about whom I,m looking for on the 1911 census then I look and c&p it onto here ...............

BUT it is very costly and I to have spent £60.00 since december

Hello Cornish Suzie - Yes I understand what you are saying, but I always 'Send Off' for my credits, subs., etc to all sites, as I do not have the correct type of bank account. This suits me fine, and works well for me.
Glad you had good luck, I hope for that also.

Amokavid - I saw your post the other day, which I did not think was rude in anyway at all,but I was unable to answer at the time. Yes I agree with you entirely about the cost and people asking for help. I have had problems accessing this census,but through my own misunderstanding,(not very computer savvy yet), but because of the costs involved, would not dream of asking anyone to do a look up for me. I am sending for credits tomorrow,pension day, and will have to be content until they arrive. At least it has given me time to familiarise myself on how to use the site properly.
Anyway, lets all hope it gets cheaper as we go along.

Good post.

I do though find it shocking people don't take time to look into costs and just assume its part of a subscription package.

Hi All,
It's frightining I have spent £60 on it since December when I had the invitation to view. Couldn't resist though I found a lot out but it has raised a lot of questions as well.

Hi Amokavid.

I saw you had mentioned it on the board and no you weren't rude at all lol.

So much publicity has been given on TV etc without mention of how much it costs that it comes as a shock to people when they work out just how much they might have to spend . I was lucky, my names were fairly unusual and confined to specific areas of London .

The 1921 is bound by the hundred year rule as was this the 1911. the reason why we he have had it early is by lobbying and the fact that it was a different act of parliment than the 1921 returns. 1921 is strictly 100 years.
They wanted 100 years for privacy reasons mainly.

thankyou

samantha

why is there such a long wait?

For now yes. After the 1921 census( due 2021) there isn't one until 1951.

Darklord

so 1911 is now as far as we can go?
