Steve's Family History

This is a blog to record my attempts to trace my family history. Maybe it will be of interest to other members of my family - especially those who are also researching their own family tree.

1911 Census

Well no sooner had I decided to pick up my family research again than the 1911 Census was published. I must admit I hadn't been paying attention so assumed it wouldn't be available until 2011.

I've had a brief scan through this evening and found my two grandparents who were born before 1911 (my Mum's parents) and all eight great-grandparents. Its also helped to find the real name of my Mum's Auntie Queenie (Evelyn Jane SALTER) and one additional Grand-Aunt, Elsie Lilian LAWRENCE who was born after the 1901 census. Not really any earth shattering results, but it has corroborated a number of facts that I had from BMD records.

There are quite a few Great, Great Grandparents who should have been around in the 1911 census so I will look them up tomorrow.
