1911 census transcripts - waste of money ?

[Nick29]

The reply was rather misleading - at first glance it appears that Brightsolid's images would be made available to all - or did they just mean that the actual documents will be available to anyone who wants to go through the whole photography, transcription and database process again ?

not misleading at all, seems perfectly clear.

However, all National Archives digitisation licenses are non-exclusive, and once the raw document images are deposited with The National Archives they will be available for re-sale to other genealogy publishers.

Yes, on re-reading I concede that point.  Ancestry must have realised the limited appeal of the census.

I agree that the 1911 has limited appeal, how many people didn't manage to spend all their ppvs?

OK, if you dont know where the 2011 termination date came from no worries

Maybe if you'd asked the right person, you might have got the answer a bit quicker.

There are several "Nicks" on this forum - I'm Nick29, not Nick99

not many others in this thread tho.

And most of us were trying to stay on-topic.

I believe it was 'on topic'

as much so as your derisive comments about the transcribers.

Bored now, lets leave it there as you obviously have no facts to base your 2011 comment.

I thought we'd established that 4 posts ago when I said "Yes, on re-reading I concede that point."

The point being conceded was that the FOI statement was perfectly clear.

I was trying to ascertain from whence you obtained the 2011 date.

I think the contract between FindMyPast and the National Archives runs until 2011, so Ancestry won't be doing it until then.

But it really doesnt matter now ......
