    3. Hi Everyone. Seasons Greetings. Thanks for the discussion on the 1911 Census. I have managed to find my way through the inaccurate transcription and find some very interesting results. I had no difficulty getting on to the site although do admit ii is a bit expensive. I do have concerns about the ethics of such a site. A recent petition to reduced the time census data was locked away was rejected. The rationale was that the informants had been promised that it would be locked away for 100 years. However, that does not seem to be a problem if there is money to be made. I am also concerned that public records are sold in this way. Tax payers have paid for the storage of this data over time so it should again be free. Having said this I am very pleased to get some knew questions to answer and hope everyone has as much fun as I have had. Thanks for bringing the information to my attention. Good hunting Jim Hill Research interests are Shuker, Sayce, Marston & Payne in Oswestry and Bishop's castle
