1911 UK Census Whilst logging onto the interweb this morning, I noticed that this is now available. Apparently it is the 1st one for which they have proper records, whatever that means. Anyway I set out to try and find my grandfather and great-grandfather, who should have been living in the Hackney/Gants Hill area of east London at the time. Naughty people seem to have failed to register! I have managed to find my grand-mother who was 3 at the time, helped by her having an unusual christian name. They are not letting you download the copies of the entries to get the details of everyone in the household yet, so it will probably pay to wait a few weeks for that before going any further. Must admit I am having more luck with my mother's family from the Manchester area. |
