Archives themselves at a fee of about 45GBP per search? This is what understood the information on the Nat. Archives site to mean. I stand to be corrected if I am wrong. _________________________________________________________________________ The 45GBP is for an address search only. The statement from the National Archives is that originally, the digital release date was expected in January 2012. However, the Information Commissioner's decision allows the National Archive to produce an online name and address search in advance of this date, with only personally sensitive data remaining closed until 2013. It does not say what 'sensitive data' is, at the census of 1911, however, a direct enquiry into the fertility of marriage was made for the first time. To obtain the necessary particulars four additional columns (6-9) were added to the schedule. PARTICULARS AS TO MARRIAGE Write "Single", "Married", "Widower" or "Widow" opposite the names of all persons aged 15 years and upwards State for each Married Woman entered on this Schedule the Number of: Completed years the present Marriage has lasted. If less than one year, write "under one" Children born alive to present Marriage (If no children born alive write "None" in Column 7) Total Children born alive Children still living Children who have died In 1911 householders were also specially asked to state those 'totally deaf or deaf and dumb, and those 'totally blind'. Enquiries into infirmity were not repeated after the census of 1911. Regards Stan Mapstone
