So far, we have only made a single image available on 1911census.co.uk - the principal original page of the RG14 Household (or Institution) Summary.

Within the next month, we will make the following images available at NO EXTRA COST.

If you have already bought the original page of the household original page, you will be able to view any associated images for free, simply by returning to the record you have paid for via the “My Records” area on the website. Any new images that you buy will have all the associated images available at the flat cost of 30 credits for the lot.

Not every search result will have all of the following images available but many households will.

Extra RG14 Household (or Institution) Schedule images:

• The address panel from the back of the schedule, showing the address as written by your ancestors and the registration district and subdistrict
• The front page of the volume in which your schedule was stored, giving more detailed information on parishes and districts

A few people have been having difficulty finding ancestors using the address search. Here are some tips to improve your chances of success!

The address search uses data from the RG14 (Household) schedules rather than the RG78 (Enumerators Summary Books). This means that the data being searched is what your ancestors would have written on the form rather than what the enumerator would have written. Because an enumerator would have been more likely to give a single, standard name to a particular street, there will be more variations in what the householders in a road have put on their form.

For example, the road near where I used to live is called “Clapham Manor Street”. Householders in this street have used various permutations such as Manor St, Manor Street, Clapham Manor, Clapham Manor St, Clapham Manor Street and more (including misspellings on the original household page itself).

We are using intelligent filtering to clean up the more obvious variations such as “Rd” for Road and “St” for Street but obviously, some lateral thinking may be required with these records. Here’s a few tips.

1. The wildcard search will be available soon (next few weeks). This will allow you to search for variants within a district (in my example, perhaps “*manor*” within the registration district to find all roads with ‘manor’ in the name in that area.

2. The RG78 Enumarator Summary Book images will also be available soon. These will let you find a family nearby, then look at the street summary to identify their neighbours (hopefully including your elusive ancestors). They will also give you fascinating details about the area your ancestors lived in.

Hope that helps!
