Final 3 English counties - preparing for loading

Monday, April 6th, 2009

We are quality checking the final three English counties at the moment (Northumberland, Cumberland, Westmorland), as well as the missing Gateshead data from Durham (which was not uploaded with the rest of the county owing to an error in the master data catalogue, which has now been rectified).

If no problems are found, this data should be available on the live site either tomorrow or Wednesday. Gateshead data will be searchable under the county of Durham, as it should be.

UPDATE Tuesday 16:50: we’re redeploying the data now, it should start appearing late this evening / early tomorrow morning if all goes smoothly.

Gateshead - released with Northumberland, rather than Durham

Wednesday, March 18th, 2009

Just to let you know that although Gateshead is in the county of Durham in 1911, for the purposes of the census it was enumerated and collected as part of Northumberland.

Hence records covering this area will be released with Northumberland records.

UPDATE (24/03): we have investigated this anomaly and it seems that the root of the problem is an error in the TNA data catalogue, which has now been addressed and corrected. Gateshead data will now appear when the Northumberland data is loaded in a few weeks’ time but will be searchable under the county of Durham, as it should be. Thanks for your patience!

On tour again - the Best of Britain show and beyond

Friday, March 6th, 2009

We thought we’d give you a few dates for your diaries as 1911census.co.uk continues on our UK tour with the 1911 census classroom, 1911 shop and free lectures on using the census to trace your family tree back through time.

The next place we will be is once again in London, at the Best Of Britain show at the end of March. This is a massive event dedicated to British travel and tourist attractions and is produced in association with VisitBritain, so it’s a great excuse to plan your holiday at the same time.

For more information, including ticket prices, see the official show website.

We can also confirm we’ll be attending two large family history fairs later in the year, so put these dates and locations in your diaries now and we will send further information nearer the time:

York Racecourse, York: June 27th
Gateshead International Arena, Tyne & Wear: September 12th
