I have to share a woo-hoo moment...
Last night I was hunting a family on my wife's side, I had only fairly little information - a few family names, a rough DOB from a marriage certificate and a location.
I located a 1911 census record, and the head of the househld had filled it 'incorrectly'. He had faithfully recorded all their children even the dead, moved on and married children. Instead of just the parish of birth, he wrote in the address of each birth. All this was crossed out by presumably the census collector, but to me it was gold.
The FMP subs are paying off!
