Please can someone tell me if I only get to see the person I have entered or do I get to see all the family in the household?

Many thanks

Thank you Island. I didnt reliase there was a GR Gold, is that a yearly sub? I have been offered some look ups by a friend as she pays to subscribe to A but I dont like to take advantage so thought I would do some myself for now. I had been hunting on Ancestry thru the 1901 census but it was taking forever and I have seen what I want for now on GR so will take the plunge.

Thanks Joan, I know pay as you go credits are not the cheapest but I cannot afford a yearly sub and this way the odd £5 here and there doesnt seem to hurt the pocket.

Thanks again Rose

Thanks Joan,
Think I might give Findmypast a go next time. My £5 in theory should have given me 10 good records but I had some bad luck. I entered the head name but that only bought that person up so I had to pay for an original to see who was in the family. The next one I entered , all the family came up but I thought what the hell I'll get the original and would you believe only the head person was there, the rest of the family must be on another page! For my next attempt I needed to see who the parents were so I
entered the person (who was my father in law) and would you believe, all the children came up but not the parents so they are on another page!
I wasted 20 credits trying to find the parents as I have no idea where they were born and there were several Smiths to choose from. Better luck next time I hope lol.

Thank you for your help
