if i buy the credits from gr to see sencus will it show me all the ppl that were living at that address or just that one person i dont really know how to use it at all

Hi Rosie Is this the 1901 census? I haven't used it since GR took it on but it used to be free to search the index then cost 75p per image. There was a 50p option but that didn't tell you anything. A subscription to Ancestry sounds expensive but it's much better value. Heather

Who are you looking for?

Rosie, never used the credits but annual membership not only allows you to see where that particular person lived it also shows you who was in the household and all the houses in that street, town, the whole country in fact. Not only do they give you the year you are looking for but all census from 1841 to 1901 and all for one price!! You can look at as much as you like with annual membership as often as you like. If you have a few to look at it might be worthwhile considering Snowdrops

i know i really want to join ancestry and i do have a spare bit of cash i will go and av a look i have posted on her before ,, for a look up and got lots of responce but now the cert is here , they wasnt the right ones

Rosie I've nudged Pink's thread about Ancestry free trial ...if you try it, remember to cancel in good time. Heather

thanks for that heather i might as well just join anyway im sure i will get my monies worth but im not very clever i probably wouldnt know how to use it lol rthanks rosex

Rosie Just ask if you get stuck :-) Heather

thanks heather i also remember some say that if i go on another site ang join ancestry through that its cheaper does any one know what site that was thanks rose

lost cousins Linda

Is the lostcousins offer still there? When I hover the mouse over the Ancestry icon there's a box saying 'save 20%' but when I click on the link it seems to be about 1861 census. Heather

yes i noticed that heather im just gonna do it through ancestry how safe is it for me to give card details never done anything like that on line before rose

Rosie It's very safe - just remember to cancel it well before your trial is up if you don't want to continue with it Snowdrops

thanks im gonna do it right now thanks rosex

Ancestry membership gives you England and Wales births marriage and death for 1837-1983,birth marriage and death 1984 to 2003. Census from 1841 to 1901 for England and Wales,Pallots marriage index and more besides. It doesn't cover Scotland,but unless your lot spent time north of the border you won't need to worry. Glen

omg ive done it OH will go bonkers soo put a reminder in my head (dont tell OH lol) rosex thanks glen

have not even been a member for an hour and already ive had enough cant find anything

I joined Ancetry supposedly through the 20% off offer but found they had still charged the full price to my card... still arguing with them about it.

Rosie - don't give up it takes a bit of practice to get anything from Ancestry. Tell us who you are looking for and someone will tell you the best way to find them. There's lots of tricks to learn! Anne
