1911 is ONLY on one site

http://www.1911census.co.uk/

GR has a tendency to mislead people about many things

You can't search the 1911 census on Genes Reunited.

I know my eyesight is not good but I can't see any mention of 1911 on the home page.

You can search it on Findmypast or (as Freewheel says) on

We all have access to the site, and it is pay per view for all of us. It is free to search - http://www.1911census.co.uk/






The 1911 is elsewhere until at least six months after find my past site has had it on subscription; then, if other sites transcribe it, it will take quite a while.

The latest census available to the public is the eagerly awaited 1911 census. In recent years, census information has been closed, certainly for family history purposes, for 100 years. The National Archives were planning to make the 1911 census available in January 2012 but a ruling by the Information Commissioner in December 2006 meant that the National Archives was forced to make the information available now. For practical reasons, all that was immediately available was a paid for search by National Archives staff to give the details of people living at a nominated address but this has now changed.

In April 2007, the National Archives announced that brightsolid would be their partner in the project to put the 1911 census for England and Wales online. As from 13th January 2009, it is available from brightsolid's genealogy subsidiary Findmypast on a dedicated website, with a phased release, county by county; this will include images and transcription data, initially on a pay-per-view basis only.

A caveat on this is that "personally sensistive" information will not be available until 3 January 2012. This includes "details of infirmity or other health-related information, information about family relationships which would usually have been kept secret and information about very young children who were born in prison".

1841 to 1901 census is the only census listed listed on the GR homepage,perhaps the 1901 was mistaken as 1911.?
