Just been into see about buying some credits and got a big shock

50 credits for a fiver and you need 30 for every search

That works out at £3 per search very very expensive don't you think

What do you think

My husband is going to pay for an upgrade for a month for me for xmas any tips on how to get the most out of the offer as it will only be for a month

I have only used it once when genes gave me 30 credits

It is only the 1911 census, passenger lists and sending a message to another member that costs 30 credits. Most other searches are between 3 and 15 credits.

Overall a subscription to Findmypast or Ancestry works out cheaper in the long run.

Its the 1911 census that I am really after

I can go ancestry for free in the liberary

but thanks Kathleen

Is that 30 credits for 1911 census or all records including BDM ?

the 1911 has a different tarrif of credit use to other records on Findmypast, its 10 credits to view a transcript of each search or 30 credidt each search to see the actual image of census form.

Ancestry offer a months subs (i think its £12+per month to view but doesnt include 1911 census as they dont have it -yet- only enumerators books which isnt too great a help.

The 1911 census image is fantastic I tis even signed by the head of the household information includes how many children born to the parents which includes any that have died also gives and address and how long they have been married

Kay, ancestry do have the 1911 census and as far as i no their is only England that is not searchable yet but will not be long now before it is, but you can brouse,

their is also a way using the summery books to find someone on the 1911 on Ancestry ( but cannot remember ) i am sure if you ask someone will no how to do it

thankyou Kath x

Ancestry only have *summary books* which isnt at all helpful as it doesnt give a whole household only princable name....no information as regards age,job, or married or a parent.....shame really but even they I bet will make a seperate charge for viewing if they had it in full.!!

Sadly nearly everything is about money these days

I have to say that I don't begrudge the amount they charge for the census as it was a massive job to digitise these records when you remember just how many millions of households there are in the country and all of these records had to be gone through and filmed and then transcribed.

Kath. x

I think you are right it wouldn't have been easy a lot of hard work

but I am not working at the mo as I look after my mum so money is a bit tight
