1911 census

[Evie]

I've messed up already - against my better judgement I purchased some credits, found my chap, downloaded the page (not transcript) and ......?
Wrong one!!!!

Yes, same thing happened to me too. Is there any way we could donate unwanted images anywhere, or would that be naughty?

Alison, if you go on the 1911 site, you can have a good look round for free.  They have a sample transcript and a sample originalcensus form together with some notes to explain.  You can also do some searching for free and rank the results.

General comment,not addressed to anyone in particular; I think it's quite a good site and not too expensive - someone has to pay because there's no such thing as a free lunch

As the image I wanted that is not available, is an army camp in Aldershot, I don't suppose it matters at the moment.  It won't have my ancestors signature and I've got the address of the barracks from the basic transcript.

I did buy the census page of my paternal grandparents and their two eldest children.  I would think my gran filled in the census, as the signature at the bottom which I presume is my grandfather's (its his name), is in different handwriting to the rest of the census.  As I have my first birthday card from my paternal gran (grandad died long before I was born), I can compare the handwriting.

I've just found my partner's grandfather but at this rate I shall have to mortgage the house. Will A******y be getting their claws on this at some stage or will we always have to be paying to see each individual household?
