1911 Census - New Counties added

[JayG]

The rest of the English Counties (Northumberland, Cumberland, Westmorland), as well as the missing Gateshead data from Durham have been added.

Happy Hunting

[herky]

oh good - hopefully Wales won't be long, fingers crossed.
Thanks for info.

[JayG]

It's exactly 3 weeks since Durham & the other 2 Yorkshire Ridings were released so with a bit of luck Wales won't be too long.

Is Merry about? I think she was waiting for Gateshead

[KiteRunner]

Thanks, Jay. Oh, why do I always find out about these things last thing at night?! Still, the Northumberland, Cumberland, Westmorland lot in my tree are OH's so they can wait till tomorrow....

[Janet in Yorkshire]

Yes, yes, yes Northumberland :D - finally found gt-granny McDonough, transcribed as Doughton

Oh no! Just gives "Ireland" as pob At least an earlier return gave Galway - I had hoped it might say county, or town.
Well, at least it's confirmed she's still around in 1911, although widowed, so I can safely order 2 death certs now.

I've had a lot more transcription errors with Northumberland than I've had with East Yorkshire, Norfolk or anywhere else.
Anyone else finding this?

[Lynn The Forest Fan]

:( I am still waiting for North Wales, I hope it won't be long.

[Durham Lady]

Oh good, now I may find my Gateshead lot.

[Cherry Too]

Same here waiting for Glamorgan.

[Elizabeth Herts]

I bet I'm going to have to wait until the end to find my grandfather in the Royal Navy. :(

This has meant a huge breakthrough for me - I've found my great grandmother in Northumberland (the elusive Hannah Green I've posted about several times) so now have her mother's first name and previous married name from the stepchildren of the head, and a stack of siblings. Very happy!

[KiteRunner]

I've found OH's 2xg-grandmother and according to the transcript she was born in Killinchy, County Down, which could be a big breakthrough as all I had before was the county, but unfortunately I haven't managed to find any Killinchy records for her family yet.

[zilkens]

I don't know where you got this information, I have in the last 5 minutes looked for my Westmorland ancestors and found that they are not yet available.

[KiteRunner]

Cumberland is definitely online because I've looked at some of them.

[lorry53]

oh good - hopefully Wales won't be long, fingers crossed.
Thanks for info.

That's what I'm waiting for, too. Not that Evans is an easy name to research in Wales. :D

[Elaine ..Spain]

They have stated on the 1911 Census blog that the first lot of Welsh data should be available within the next 4-6 weeks.

[KiteRunner]

Just to confirm that Westmorland is definitely online now.

[Tom Tom]

Found my ggg granny as Mrs J Sellars :D

Will have to download that this evening

[Vicky the Viking]

I keep telling myself to wait till its cheaper before I play "hunt the twiglets" but I got curious about where my (widowed by then) gt gt grannie was, and found her with her youngest daughter, who (it turns out) married in 1907, so I've now got her husband's name & another branch to follow.

and its another fairly unusual surname, and I know someone with that surname, so of course I have to see if we're connected

1911 census

Just had an email to tell me that the 1911 census for England is now complete and that, The Welsh counties will be added soon.
Hope you did not already know this

[Helen Smith Too]

That'll teach me!

Dove straight into Westmorland to find my GrGrandfather John Anderson.
Only one of the right age there - has to be him! Straight to the full page, downloaded, saved....Who are all these other people...argh, that's not him!!!

Try searching under Anderson, cos I know he's there...there he is - Jack!!!:(
