The 1911 Census

Having experienced the initial thrill of  'walking' around the streets of Victorian Ushaw Moor and Sleetburn at ten yearly intervals, by virtue of an Ancestry package, I now have the prospect of doing the same in a back to the future 1911!

The pay as you go 1911 experience is already available - but from October 21st on tap total access, at your leisure, can be a reality by subscribing to the following facility on the Internet site:  findmypast.com

There is no full stop after .com!

Some exciting blurb tells me that:

--It is the first census where there is a form for every household rather than just a street-by-street summary: you get your own ancestor's handwriting

--It is over ten times larger than the 1901 census

--It has glorious technicolour images, more personal details to help you built up your tree and even details of deceased children.
