1901 Ancestry v PRO
« on: Tuesday 27 April 04 21:25 BST (UK) »
Is the information on the 1901 Census on Ancestry exactly the same as the PRO site, has it been retranscribed or do Ancestry just use the same info.. for example if I can't find someone in the PRO index I won't find them on Ancestry ?

Hi Suey

To the best of my knowledge Ancestry have RE-TRANSCRIBED the 1901 census by their own staff - otherwise why have they only put a few counties on and not all at the same time if it was a copy of PRO transcription.

Ancestry's 1901 does not cover all areas but it does allow you to see the original census which is brilliant.
