I'm happy with it......it has Lancs, Glos and Notts, my main areas of interest.

Fascinating, though, to find out that people were not as much in awe of 'authority' as one might have thought. Two of the records I have accessed show the head to be fibbing about how long he and his wife have been married, in spite of having signed the declaration that the info is accurate................

Pam, have you tried looking up the Local trade directories of the time for liverpool. It may give an address where they were living at the time.

To true about the southern counties, at least on the Family pilot search they have a great ammount of B T's for Northumberland & Durham so I'll stick to tying up all of those loose ends ready for when coverage on the 1911 census is up & running - Cheshire has also had a lot of BT's done as well but hardly any for the southern region so I don't suppose everyone can be pleased!

Hello,

I'm finding it very expensive nearly gone through 280 credits already. A number of things have been mispelt and on one transcipt it had a 9year old as married!!!

I have managed to tie up quite a few things but I got through my credits really quickly. You can spend a fortune!

So far l have found and downloaded hubby's dad at home with his parents in Salford. Manchester and my mum's mother at home with her mum in West Yorkshire
l know my dad was born 1910 Liverpool but cannot find him or his parents! l know his dad was still alive in 1918 and possibly up to 1950s lt's so frustrating.

lt is pretty expensive and l will only use it when l'm pretty sure l have the right ancestors
But l'm glad l have those above

Good luck everyone l hope the other regions are available really soon

Iv found a few but am saving my credits for Durham and Northumberland,
I wonder why the folks who do all this census lark think that the most important counties are southern ones,,,We dont all have ancestors there do we?

It is nice to be able to search if you can afford it as it is quite expensive to use the credits for searching the 1911 census.
You can find out quite a bit of information without buying credits so it is very useful for that.

I wish it had NR Yorkshire and Durham.
I remember the 1901 census was late adding these 2 areas
