Thanks Rose,

I've been trying to find my way round the 1911 census and now I can find familes not just individuals

Jennifer,

I narrowed down the search using Ulverston in Residential Place so that just one Ada was returned. Then I put her name in the "Other members of the household" section. Then I put Fawcett or Woodburn in the Surname field to see who was living with her.

FAWCETT JOSEPH EDWARD M 1890 21 Ulverston Lancashire
FAWCETT ROBERT M 1905 6 Ulverston Lancashire

This is for Portland Rose. I am intrigued as to how you found all those other names at the same place?? I am assuming you didn't pay for a Transcription so guesswork or some other tip for searching

You'll only have to pay for looking at the transcription or the actual record. You can search for free!

Hi all
I am probably being a bit dim, but how do I search the 1911 census without paying to another site? I am searching for ada woodburn, born 1910 ulverston lancs but I can't find the 1911 census on here??
thanks
