Hi
I have not been paying attention to the info on the 1911 census, ( I thought it was a long way off) but these pages have sparked my interest. I looked at the website and have read through a few of these pages, but I am still not sure - what is it that you can gain access to 2009? How is the census going to be gradually introduced? I hope a don't sound 'a bit thick'. But if some one can explain simply I'd appreciate it. 
Cheers
Wendy

There will be minor restrictions on the information released in 2009, in that the column relating to disabilities is blanked out until the full release in 2012. But apart from that, there is more detail than on previous years; married women were asked how long they had been married, and how many children, living and dead, had been born of that marriage. There is also a bit more detail on occupations, and for the first time the whole of the British Army is enumerated, including regiments stationed abroad.
Brightsolid/ScotlandOnline/Findmypast are TNA's Licensed Internet Associate for 1911, but after it is fully released in 2012 other companies will be able to buy non-exclusive licences as they can already for earlier censuses and other records, and index them for their own websites. No doubt this will include all the 'usual suspects', Ancestry etc...
This census is also roughly contemporary with the Valuation Office Survey 'Lloyd George's Domesday' so it will be a wonderful opportunity to combine census data with detailed information about places - local history heaven!

I think we would all appreciate an idea of which areas will be released first, and roughly the order in which others will follow.

Note that (numbered ?) street address should be included in most cases.
It will clear up ambiguous cases
This will be very significant although chatters over 50 would mostly have a fair idea where (probably) grandparents lived in 1911.

Are you sure about that ? If you're over 50 (which I am), then your grandparents almost certainly won't be alive, and it's also quite possible that your parents won't be either (mine are not). I know where the grandparents lived in 1901 (I got that from the census), but I've no idea where they lived in 1911, and none of my cousins seem to know, either. I know where my mother's mother lived in the 1930's (when my mother got married), but I've no idea when my grandmother moved there.

4 generations of my tree-including the newest one!

I am over 50  (just!) and my 4 grandparents were born from 1891- 1900.
I know where 3 of them were living in 1911.
That's only because of addresses on birth certs of younger siblings though.

I'm a few + years over 50 and I know where my grandparents were living - both sets within about 20 yards of each other (and their son and daughter both at home ). A widower great was living with one set of grandparents, my one set of greats were a bit further along the road and the other great about 1/2 mile away.
For a lot of roving ancestors, they seemed to have settled down by then

Do you suppose Ancestry will have the 1911, or will those of us who use that have to change subscriptions ?? I can't think that Ancestry will be wanting to loose customers !
Had an e-mail today from 'Findmypast', the Official site that will have it. Even their Subscribers are going to have to pay EXTRA to view it as it's a 'pay-to-view' site so it may as well just stay as an on-line site of its own.
