Accessing 1901 census
« on: Sunday 15 May 05 01:24 BST (UK) »
Several weeks ago I could access the 1901 census online and do a name search for free with no problems. I would get a whole list of names and have to go through them to find the person I was looking for.

Now for some reason I cannot even access the name search. Every single search comes up as negative, and I get a request to use the "intelligence person search" instead. I've tried it and I still dont get any results.

Has the 1901 census site changed the free index search to paying customers only?  If so when? If not, how can I do a free search and get some results like I used to get.

Yes the official site.   

I had another go as well

It looks like too much info seems to overload the system.
