Hi lists, First apologies if you receive this more than once. UKBMD are conducting a survey about the possibility of placing actual Birth, Marriage and Death certificates on line. I thought some of you may be interested in completing the survey. The link to the site is at the bottom of this email. Sandra Dear all, UKBMD has been asked to seek the opinions of its users. There's a survey linked from the home page which I hope you will take the time to answer. If you could see birth, marriage and deaths certificates on-line, would you prefer to see the original register entries held by the local register offices, or the secondary copy held by the GRO? Don't answer here -- please fill in the survey. Please cross-post this to any other list that you believe to be relevant. -- regards, Ian Hartas -------------------------------- UK-BMD : http://www.UKBMD.org.uk Subscribe to the GEN-UKBMD list.
A quickie search reveals this below.... >>> England and Welsh Census Information for 1911. The 1911 Census records for England and Wales are subject to the Public Records Act 1958 (Instrument No 12 dated 1966), which specifies a closure period of 100 years. The records will be opened to the public in 2012. It was possible, following concessions announced in 1972 and 1989, for limited information to be released from the 1901 census to direct descendants and next of kin for family history purposes before the records were opened to public search. However, the concessions specifically referred to censuses prior to and including the 1901 Census and therefore did not apply to the 1911 Census. There are no plans for a similar concession relating to the 1911 Census. A concession announced in 1993 relating to the 1911 Census is conditional upon the applicant requiring the information solely in order to establish a legal entitlement and would only be considered where the information could not be obtained from any other source.
