Census and Resource Discussion / Re: 1911 census on genes
« on: Tuesday 24 August 10 07:57 BST (UK)  »
Are the images of the censuses on genes the same as the ones on ancestry? Money's quite tight and I don't want to waste any of it on a site I won't get much benefit from. I would be looking at many more than 8 records because I trace all my ancestors. ;)

Census and Resource Discussion / 1911 census on genes
« on: Sunday 22 August 10 19:16 BST (UK)  »
I used to subscribe to Genes Reunited but my membership lapsed ages ago because I found ancestry.com much easier to use. As it doesn't look like ancestry will have access to the 1911 census, and I find the 1911online site a bit hit and miss can anyone tell me whether it would be worth re-subscribing to genes so that I can get unlimited access to the 1911 census? Many thanks, Kate.

Essex Lookup Requests / George Street, Chelmsford
« on: Monday 08 March 10 14:45 GMT (UK)  »
I noticed on Barbara Windsor's 'Who do you think you are' that the expert was able to look up an address and find out what kind of people lived in the area. Does anyone know whether those records are kept for all areas or just London. My grandfather lived in George Street, Chelmsford at the beginning of the 20th century. His father was a labourer possibly on the railways and I am wondering what kind of house that was (it's no longer there) and what the living conditions were. Many thanks. Kate

Buckinghamshire Lookup Requests / Re: Trade directory, Woverton

Hi David, I followed your link and found EXACTLY what I was looking for. It seems that my great grandfather worked from his home in Church St. and we were able to drive there (160 mile round trip) this morning and took some photos of the house. Thanks again. Kate

Will check the Scottish records in a min but just going off track for a minute:Although we live in Gloucestershire my husband was recently working in Pollokshaws demolishing a block of flats. Is that anywhere near Springburn where my uncle lived? Many thanks again, Kate

Hi, I have searched on freebmd for the death of my great uncle who died in Glasgow. The search asks for a county or area name. Glasgow isn't listed as a place in it's own right and I can't find out which county it comes under. Can anyone enlighten me?
Many thanks, Kate

I have found a photo of Ebenezer and it is on my family tree on ancestry.com if you would like to have a look. My tree is called smith_family_tree. Best regards, Cathy
