Hello Viv - I have been really surpised at how honest some of mine have been about the length of the marriage! Some haven't though and I have one who reckons to have been married 20 years but I'm sure she ain't married at all

Does this work, Amanda?

I've saved loads on the advanced search - if you just put in surname and district and a more unusual christian name if you have one, it can really help. Also if there's a spelling mistake - I had an Elizibeth Smith or something similar so it was easy to find those in the household lol

Hope you have some luck on FreeBMD Joanne

Helloo Kay - I haven't had that - was disappointed enough to find my one great great grandmother as a widow but I think she's lying.

Thank you Susan : )

Edited (deleted web address...just read the terms and conditions.....oh whoops )

It has been my home page since it launched lol

Hiya David, I'm skint and couldn't afford to buy but I did find my Dad as a three year old and one of our lovely mutual friends (Pat) sent me the image and I sat and cried! Another of our lovely mutual friends (Chris) sent me the image of my great uncle who lied through his teeth on the census !!!!!
He said he'd been married to this 'lady' for 3 years and that her child from her second marriage belonged to her first husband ..... naughty naughty gt uncle ! LOL

When is the 1921 due out? And any chance of it being before my ancestors have driven me totally round the bend? !!!!!!

I desperately needed Durham and Essex, so will have to be patient and wait for official launch.

I only spent £6.95 and found new information about my GG grandparents.

GG grandfather Harry entered the names of his deceased children and places of birth on the census return.

So now, I need to track down the births and deaths of Henry, Ivy and Violet West born in Poplar between 1900 and 1911

I've lost the link to the search , has anyone got it please ?

I haven't tryed the advanced search thingy .

After a wait since the 1901 cock sure 1911 would throw light and answers its now caused a flurry of confusion.by birth place.age, by 6 years and 3 dead children.!!so back to the drawing board and 12 years of research down the wrong bl**y line.:}


So roll on 1921 census,,!!!

Oh ferlip, Dion:(

lol Susan, I was looking protectively at my bottle of red.... I only really need one lot in Leeds and one in Cumbria so I wish they'd just let me look;)

My bank statements and credit card statements get shredded as soon as they arrive Uggers! Not that they have much on them but I don't think paying for info off family history sites would be seen as money well spent! ;)

I have to eat my bank statements, Sally.

Amanda, have you had much luck with the advanced search - there's loads you can find for free, especially if you use the other people in the household - given that you have one unusual first name or something:)

Half of what you will need to pay when the Northern ones are uploaded

I've had a quick squint at it but can't afford to delve any deeper at the moment but it looks hopeful for me as a lot of my crowd are in the London area.

Amanda : )

Same here Uggers!
Good job OH doesn't know!!!!!!

Half of what?

Give me half and when the time comes I will look them up for you :-))))

I bet I could have bought a sub to findmypast with what I've spent. I'm not going to look and I don't want anyone to tell me.

Hello David

I read their rather ambiguous statement on their blog.....It seems ( correct me if I am wrong) that firstly they will release it...then it will be with the other census' on find my past...they already have a space for it under the 1901.....problem being....they haven't finished adding all the others yet.....they must have made a fortune already ( from me alone ) so I would place a bet that they will wait until initial interest wanes...then add it to find my past......my humble cynical view :)

It has shown me that the one I really need is the next one! I'll have gone insane by then trying to find people.
