There has been nothing official, however. There seems to be some access today as I have found family on both sides in Gelli and Ystalyfera. There has been nothing official, however.

We have extended the validity of any credits bought in the first few months, so nobody should have lost any - if they have, our Customer Support team will happily extend them. The good news is that we are now very close to releasing the welsh records, so your wait will soon be at an end. @Rebekah: the reason there were no issues with Welsh language returns in previous censuses was that there were no household schedules, and the Enumerators worked in English!

Hope that helps! By the way - very unlikely that you daughter found a 1911 census record on ancestry, as they only exist on this website! @mavis: there are a couple of posts on this blog which should help you get to grips with the address search - there’s also some tips on the main site.

The majority of Welsh residents filled out their forms in English! We've been so patient, but people have lost credits because of the expected release date being prolonged for so long. Please, please can we at least have whats available? I arranged to visit my ancestors old homes in Glamorgan just after the census was due out, as I needed the census info.....but the census obviously wasn't released and as I'd already paid for my break in advance I still went - minus the info I was hoping to have. I cant afford to go again until next year. This census release seems to be very mis-managed. You're happy to grab money for expensive credits but the service isn't really upto scratch. I wish Ancestry had the census, we could hopefully use the same search facility as on the other census reports too, instead of FMP's search facility which isnt as effective.

I suggest all records are released in Welsh and let the "Sais" do their own translations. Twllch Du Bob Sais! Having read allm of the foregoing, the bulk of the complainants apear to be English.
