Just popped in while I have a teabreak - Sussex is there - but I musn't be tempted as I've already spent the Christmas money that I haven't actually been given yet.

this has already been mentioned several times on the beta thread....

[Heather Positive Thinker]

Well, I never saw it Darks and I expect people who wanted these counties and knew they werent on the trial originally wouldnt have checked on there either.

[Wor canny Lass]

Someone said we are supposed to complete a survey about the 1911 if we had an invite. Anyone know how to access it?

I just whinged about the cost basically. Especially when I realised Id paid out for about 3 months of the ancestry full whack annual package :( for not an awful lot of results.

On the 1911 blog there is a place for comments - some quite interesting. At a rough guess - 65% are mentioning the price and the lack of some counties and the 35% say how great it all is - one lady said she'd found her mum.......'just a few hours old' on the 1911 Census - awwwww, isn't that a fab one.

There is an posting on the 1911 census blog explaining the north/south divide.
