1921 census

[PaulineJ]

Well my great grandfather’s middle name is down as Charles when it is Clarke. I can’t locate another great grandparent although I know she died in 1935. I know her location but wish you could search by address which would help. I can’t afford to check each of her children to see if she is with them.
Interestingly my relative in the lunatic asylum is listed with his full name not initials.

I have 5 households on my "priority" list, which I will definitely order = £15.75 with subscriber discount.

I have another 10 or so that I might order = £31.50.

That would be £47.25 to get all the records I might want. An awful lot cheaper for me than travelling to London or Manchester and an awful lot less hassle in the current climate.

The records should be free, but our glorious leaders farm them out to private companies (where else are they doing that I wonder?), so those private companies need to recoup their huge costs. I don't begrudge them one bit.

Sorry - I don't understand?
Why should they be free?

I agree completely.
Someone has to pay for large quantities of digitisation to make the images. Someone has to pay for the indexing and transcription processes. Someone has to pay for the computer systems and servers that deliver the data to researchers like us.
So either we pay for the product, or someone else has to - and surely we get the benefit so should pay the price?

I heard a talk from people who were involved and they said before they could even start on the digitisation they had to repair many of the records because they had been so badly kept.

In time they may make the 1921 census part of your FindMyPast subscription, like they did the 1939 register.

I bought my Dad and grandmas record in the early hours. I cannot print it, save it or attach it successfully to the person in my tree. Any ideas? I want a hard copy after paying for it. I have an iPad.
When I go to the tree and click on saved media ,it takes me back to paying for it!!
Any help would be great
Thanks

For the address section see reply 78 on this thread. The children under 16 still living are on  the far right of the image.
There is an address search but unfortunately it does not give any clues when you hover over the transcript button, at least not on the street I checked.

I've made one payment for the record of my mysterious g.grandfather.  I got the census image and was a bit surprised to realise that the transcription would be another £2.25.  I didn't bother with that as the census was clear enough.

Apart from his age of 65 years 4 months at the time of the census, making his dob February 1856, I didn't gain much information.  My g.gran's age was correct for once, she gave her age as 77 years 8 months which nicely takes us back to October 1843 which is spot on - I have her birth certificate.  So from that I'm assuming my g.grandfather's age must be correct too.  The only difference from other census is that he gave his place of birth as Bow, rather than Bethnal Green or just Middlesex.  However, I still can't find him.  There are a few options but looking on GRO the surnames of the mothers are wrong.  My feeling is that he was illegitimate and for some reason his birth was never registered.  From DNA, I know exactly which family he is related to but I just can't fit him in.

At the top of the record there is an arrow pointing downwards.  You can download the document from that and then do what you like with it.

Nooshie, can you screenshot it?  That's what I did with my one record that I looked up and also printed it.

If you are on Find My Past, have you checked My Records?
