vivienne

Limited access to the 1911 census will be possible before the normal release date of 2012 - see the the National Archives's page http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/1911census/
Although the 1911 census as a whole is still 'closed', you can now ask for details of who lived at a specified address. The National Archives can provide you with a copy of the census return for that address, except for any particularly private information about the people living there. ……………………….
There is currently a non-refundable fixed fee of £45 (including VAT) that covers searching for the census return for the address you have specified. If anything is found, a copy will be made and sent to you.

they are worth it in my opinion - (I have three)!!
but then I've always been impatient!

they are A3 in size and the head of the house has filled the answers in - so you actually get your ancestors writing and signature at the bottom!

vivienne

oh yea christine
this is all your fault for putting up that darn genealogy thread,renewing my curiosity so strongly!!

I would add, vivienne, as a word of caution!
DOUBLE CHECK & CHECK AGAIN BEFORE WRITING THE ADDRESS DOWN!!
It's a lot to pay to get the neighbours!!

Christine
