no I'll have a look for a death this evening. I seem to remember that I couldn't find a death for her, but I'll check.

I have joined Ancestry yesterday and clicked on a months subscription. Does this mean I have signed up for a year to be paid monthly or can I end it after a month? I was awake for a while last night thinking about this!

I think you need to check "my account" on Ancestry and ensure that automatic renewal has not been selected.

Ancestry only has transcripts for Scottish census. The only site with original images is Scotlandspeople which as you know is a pay to view site.

You may have signed up for a month's free trial, but had to give credit card details??

This usually means that you can cancel within that month by giving notice to Ancestry, but if you don't cancel a years worth of subscription will be taken.

You need to check as rootgatherer suggests!

I can't find a death for her. I can't find a marriage either.

She has a sister born about 1825 Jean Rutherord but I can't find a birth for her.

Anyone know why ancestry doesn't have 1911 scotand census?

Scotlandspeople own the rights to it and as it is a pay to view site I would doubt they would reduce their income by letting a subscription site use it. Also I should add that Ancestry only have transcripts of the other Scottish census. The original images of those can be viewed at Scotlandspeople.

The original household returns for the Scottish 1911 haven't survived as far as I am aware. It is, I think, the enumerator's returns that you can view on Scotlandspeople.

Hello Doreen, because it's only available on Scotland's People, which is an excellent site for Scottish research.

http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/

It's a pay per view site but the credits are reasonably priced (£7 for 30). Costs 5 credits to view a census image.

Thanks, I am on both and scotlandspeople is getting costly as there is so much to research. I suppose they will put the census on Ancestry one day.
