I didn't know about the decoder either Jennifer. Thanks for that Ruth. Margaret-if you haven't anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all! You are obviously above the rest of us.

Yes Ruth its me !!.Am just about to download the census decoder thanks to all you helpful people !I would be stuck at my greatgrandad if it wasnt for the help I`ve had on this site and now I`m back to 1633 thanks to Ruth and others.I`ve found 3 cousins albeit distant but who cares ?!!I never imagined I would ever get to this point . Jennie (I tried to find out about vouchers but for some reason dont think I can get them in Shetland.)

Hi Jennifer, There is no need to say sorry. We are all here to help each other, that is the whole idea of the boards. I never knew about the census decoder either till someone on this site told me. I am one of the people Ruth kindly helped yesterday and it is that kind of help and advice that makes this site such a great place!! Good luck, Susan

Is that my distant cousin Jennie by any chance?!!!! I'd just like to add that I found out yesterday (relatively hidden away on the 1901 site) that vouchers to use the site are valid for 6 months from date of first use, as opposed to the 48 hr limit with a minimum charge of £5 if you pay by card. Still wiaiting to hear from them where I can buy the vouchers though!!! Also because of the minimum spend/time limit it's possible someone might have spare credits they can't use, so I don't see any harm in asking! I had spare credits on Scotlands People yesterday which I 'advertised' and managed to help 3 people. Isn't supporting eachother the main reason we look at this board?!!!!!!!!!

You're welcome Jennifer. If you need any tips on downloading the census decoder look at the message titled "1901 Census" by Pearl Harries on this board. Crista

Thanks Crista, and sorry Margaret, I had no idea about the decoder and had noticed several people leave messages asking someone to look up a name for them. As you know it all gets a bit expensive and I thought if someone had paid already for acess they wouldnt mind. I`ve just remembered though that you have to pay to view each entry so I`m really sorry I wont do that again! People on this site are really great and so helpful I`ve made loads of progress because of that.Thanks everyone ! Jennie

OoHh Margaret that was a bit unkind, not all of us know as much as others!! Ann,Darlington

Margaret, There are plenty of people out there that don't know about the decoder. There are messages on this board all the time. You have to give Jennifer the benefit of the doubt. Crista

Jennifer Frankly, I'm amazed that you ask someone to do a look up on the 1901 census. It's online, you can always download the decoder if you don't wan't to pay to view the image. As you are on this site, you obviously had access to the Internet what what is the problem? Margaret

Jennifer, After Gertrude there were: Albert CARTER 1893 Worcestershire Pershore Leonard CARTER 1897 Worcestershire Pershore Mabel CARTER 1898 Worcestershire Pershore I got this using the census decoder. You can download it at www.censusdecoder(.)com Crista

Hi I`m trying to find out if my great Aunt had any more children after Gertrude Carter who was 2 months in 1991. Could some kind soul look it up for me and see whos in the household etc. Her mothers name was Elizabeth Carter and father Alfred J Carter. She would be from Pershore Worcester. Thanks !!
