1911 Scottish Census - look-up? please for Haddington
« on: Saturday 27 September 14 22:47 BST (UK) »
Is it possible to search the 1911 census by address, if so, could a kind person see who was living at Smiths Close, Nungate, Haddington.  Interested to see if a Miss Gallagher who was present there in 1916, was there in 1911, if so with whom.  Any assistance really appreciated :)

I'm afraid that you will have to access the 1911 Scottish Census via Scotlands People (and purchase credits to view any results). There are no transcriptions of the 1911 Scottish census on Ancestry as there are with the other Scottish censuses.

I can't find my way around Find My Past enough to know if they have the 1911 Scottish census ....

I'm sure someone will be able to tell you.

Hi c145hoo

Unfortunately you cannot do an online address search for the 1911 Scottish census on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk. Not sure if this is different if you did this type of search at an one of the main genealogy centres in Scotland?

The Valuation Rolls on SP won't help you for now for 1911 as that year falls between the available 1905 and 1915 currently available online...

May be that the only source for this type of search will be a local library search for the Valuation Rolls or Post Office Directories...these again likely have to be personal searches.

Monica  :)

Hi Monica.  ;D (our paths haven't crossed for a while)

Might it just be easier if c145hoo searches for "Miss Gallagher" by name in the 1911 census?

Ruskie...yep  ;D

The other thing to bare in mind when ever you see "Close" on Scottish addresses is that the 'Close' may actually be an alleyway off a main street and may not be addressed/indexed that way if you try to search for an address...

Ruskie, MonicaL  Thanks for the feedback.  I have searched Scotlands people census 1911, but needed an address search, which as you have advised isn't available on-line.

Ruskie, FYI - Find My Past - doesn't have the 1911 Scottish census, its the same as Ancestry. :-\

Ruskie,  Thanks again for the update.  If Smiths Close is potentially an alley, what would the address likely be?  I have Smiths Close, Nungate, Haddington. :-\

Sadly, for us all, and for a number of reasons....the only source for the 1911 Census is Scotlands People, supported by www.dcthomsonfamilyhistory.com and in conjuction with GROS.

Other years of the censuses are not so restricted...

This info supplied by Monica actually.  ;)


c145hoo, is there more you can tell us about Miss Gallagher? The reason you want to find her in 1911? As the name is so formal presumably she is not an ancestor? Where did you get this 1916 address from? I am just wondering if there is another way we might be able to track her down ...
