Hello, Uggs. :))) I have now got a mystery with Alan's family. Why was his great grandad living as a lodger in Croydon where he died 18 years later and not with his wife and family? When he died in '29 his missus married 3 months later. I NEED Essex and Wst. Yorkshire!!!!!!

Sounds about right then ! i've got a feeling some of mine were in the workhouse or Bedford nick ! pmsl

Hello Sue:) I think I have moaned about this already on here but my gg grandmother is claiming she has been married 20 years (her eldest is 42) and that she is a widow - can't find a marriage for them and I'm sure her old man is in the workhouse and doesn't die for another 2 years:) So it doesn't solve all I wanted it too:)

If I get Essex then I will know if great Gran M. was in Woodford where they were in 1901 but it still doesn't answer why they aren't together. Found two rellies in Alan's family visiting family in London which I think will start to tie his Essex M's with the London M's - something I haven't been able to do. Can't wait for Yorkshire - it will hopefully open up new families for ancestors who married after the 1901 census. I also want to know if my paternal great grandfather remarried after his wife died in 1909.

PS. I think your gg gran was telling a few porkies.

Do you remember the excitement of the 1901 census launch, when we (I) thought it would be the answer to all our prayers?.....methinks this one will be the same once we get over it...more questions than answers. :-(

I think so too, Susan. The trouble is some of the mysteries will never be solved because there are no records telling personal tales only facts and figures.

I was lucky ...so many of mine in London and Middlesex :)

but what really made my week was the Irish 1911 having Co Kerry up. already .. found my gt gt uncle and family FREE and also details of their house, rooms , windows and that they had two cow houses a calf house a dairy and a piggery :))

Susan has the right approach, once its been around for a while & comes into the realm at a much cheaper price. Then it just becomes another tool to use.
I'm going to be patient until all been put together, tested & put onto ancesty. I've plenty to research & willing to wait.
Those of you who've used the beta test version & have found conflicting info. Please wait until 1911 census is fully up & running. There are bound to be errors in the beta version. Don't re-research what you've already done, based upon something that isn't yet reliable.

OOOh, Uggers me darlin', I have spent far more than is sensible. If Monmouthshire and Brecknock had been available I'd be in even more bother than I'm going to be when the credit card bill arrives.

It was wonderful to see my Dad, aged 1, with the rest of his family.

Trouble is,it's had a knock on effect and I've just had to send for some certificates as well .....

Gwynne me loverly:)) Oh I could spend a fortune on certificates now so it's just as well I haven't got one.....

My great aunt is on there aged 6 months, the only living one I have. It's so satisfying seeing all the people I knew in old age being where they should be and who they should be with
