I haven't used the 1911 census and I'd like some advice from those of you have as to which would be best to use. |

No, it's the official site - avoid GR, I understand it's troublesome! And it only directs you to the offiical site anyway: |

By the way, the main way to search is by name but with a bit of effort you can search addresses to. Jonesey has a couple of good threads on this, will dig them out for you. |

You don't get the actual household image on GR for the 1911 only the transcription. |

Thanks for that bit of info Christine. I think I'll go for the main site and take the 6 month subsciption. Although I only can think of a couple of people I want to get, I know me and I will get more involved than I think. |

I found the 1911 a bit tricky to begin with but now I enjoy using it. Don't forget - the free search facility is usually far better, so if you get stuck try that then go back to the subscription page and look up your findings. I usually have both on the go at the same time, as I suspect most people do! |
