1911 British Census Oddities
Posted: Mon Jun 12, 2017 1:09 am
The 1911 British Census has some peculiarities that make it difficult to use when attaching to records.
1) On the results screen, the Birth field is left blank, even though the age of the person is known. At minimum, an estimated year could be put here to help weed out results.
2) The relationship is indexed, but when trying to attach, family records are not together, like on other censuses. This makes it extremely inconvenient to attach records as you have to do it one by one.
