    1. [B&D] 1911 summary books on Ancestry
    2. Charani

    3. For those who haven't already discovered it: Ancestry have the *summary* books available. These are not like the summary books we're used to though. They give the head of household and the number of occupants and the address. Some of the entries are muddled, eg Mr HARGREAVES of the Farmers' Arms is given as Mr Arms HARGREAVES! For those who don't have access to the 1911 on FindMyPast, this is a start. Ancestry say they will be releasing the whole of the census in due course. They are doing their own index.

    3. Just in case users of FMP have missed it - these Summary Books are available on the Findmypast site as well. If you look at the original census image and click on "List" under Enumerators book images at the top you get the same page. They are very useful when used in conjunction with the household entries to establish the neighbourhood. It shows the position of unoccupied buildings as well which is very valuable for people looking at local history topics. One advantage that the Ancestry version has is that you can go directly to the next book page to get a quicker look at a whole area.
