Title: 1911 Census - FREE to view for Wales
Post by: BumbleB on Monday 20 January 14 13:29 GMT (UK)

I've just noticed that Ancestry appear to be offering FREE access to the 1911 Census returns for WALES, plus the Summary Books.  All the other areas require a subscription.

Sorry, I can't check it out, as I already have a subscription to Ancestry.  Perhaps someone who does not have a subscription would like to check it out.

Obviously this does not change the RootsChat policy of NO LOOK UP REQUESTS.

If you select 1911 census and then look down the list, you should see this

I was having a nice cup of coffee and thought I'd check  :D

I wonder if they will ask non-subscribers for their credit card details.

I've just got my daughter to try it out.  She does not have a subscription BUT she is able to see 1881 England and 1911 Wales entries -AND she did not have to give credit/debit card numbers  ;D ;D

Well done Ancestry  :)

Strange or not but I rarely use Ancestry for the 1911. It was the first census where my Mother and Father showed up as infants -bless  :)

(In Wales, please note!)
