When it comes to the Ancestry.co.uk website you never know quite what you are going to wake up to. This morning I took a look at the website and discovered that they have uploaded images from the 1911 census for England, Wales, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands.
The images are not indexed yet, or at least the index is not online yet. I am sure we will hear more about this when the news is officially released by Ancestry but for now you will need to have an idea where you should be looking, possibly using their previously released Census Summary Books.
According to their source information page: “They can be browsed by county, civil parish, sub-registration district, and enumeration district.”
I am certain a lot of people have been eagerly awaiting this release and even if you haven’t it will be good to have another alternative index available when it does go live. Unfortunately we still have to wait until next year to view the contents of the infirmity column.
I admire people who are into this work. I am not a gifted researcher in looking at records. I do have a goal to learn as many family stories as possible. Technology makes it easy to communicate with people in the family who are gifted in research.
