I think you just have to double the schedule number to get the first page of you relation's data.

One way is to use the enumerators book to find your rellie on Ancestry.
At the top of the image it says return to search results, next
to that is....Lancashire > Manchester > Central > District 2 > 10

That will give you the district your rellie lives in. Then all you have to do is find the schedule number which next to your rellies name. Go to images at the top right and keep putting page numbers in till you get to your schedule number.

Hope you understand this...........it does work !

Just a tip that might help:

Do your initial searching at this site (It is free to search)

http://www.1911census.co.uk/search/tnaform.aspx

If you find who you are looking for then switch to Ancestry to try to find them there,

Good luck.

Researching:
Don't put off until tomorrow doing what you can do today. If you like doing it today you can do it again tomorrow. Be kind to your children for it is they who will decide which care home you end up in.

Can someone please help me. I am going round the bend :-S

Is it possible somehow to find out the enumeration areas and numbers for the 1911 census on An..
There are so many districts and numbers to trawl through, is there an
easier way.
I hope that you can understand what I mean.
Thank you. :-)
