1911 Census again

You can now view summary books for the 1911 census in England and Wales on ancestry.co.uk. The summary includes the following information:

  • head of each household
  • how many people were recorded in that home, split into male and female
  • address
  • type of residence (e.g. house, shop)

and as with the full census reports, you can view the names of neighbours on the same page.

Apparently several women are missing from the Welsh census records for 1911 because of a suffragette boycott of the census - interesting but rather annoying if you're searching for Welsh relatives from 1911.
