I find all these census sites do not come up with known relatives in known addresses, which I put in just to try out the site. Meanwhile, they eat up my credits for zero information. I shall avoid them in future.

Hi Hugh.
Have to admit that the 1911 in its present form is really hard work.
Trying to find a small Welsh village has seemed impossible to find but after about 4 hours hunting down with all the clues I could muster I located it.
I didn’t even have a name to help, they are all the same in West Wales it seems’…only joking for the folks connected to Wales. Goodness knows how many transcripts I needed to be downloaded, at least a hundred I guess so imagine what that would have cost…bear that in mind folks if you dont have a subsciption.

My worry is I could be cut off the system as I might be deemed an over user but honestly I find nothing is straight forward with far to many transciption errors in this 1911.

My overall feelings are the 1911 does work resonably well but I just wonder if the folks behind the scenes ever try to use it. Try letting much older mature folks try to make sense of it all and not the 12 year olds I suggest.

I agree Hugh its iritating and non friendly to use… but wow thanks for it before 2011.

RG78 is great but almost impossible to browse

let alone bookmark
very very irritating and not user friendly

but very handy when an image was missing
I could prove that schedule existed in 1911

Well I subscribed for the 1911 and wow…fantasic.

Takes just a while to find your way round and I now realise it would have cost me a small fortune as Pay As You Go to find my families in London, common names need lots of searches.

Would be useful to see how the credits are being used on My Account page so as to judge when I will run out…if ever.

Have to say all in all its worth it….for me
