Try it and see, on the > advanced search. Unlike previous censuses, what we see at 1911census.co.uk are the householder schedules, and not the enumerators schedules. As such, details of place of birth are likely to be more detailed than those of the enumerators' books. The RG78 reference you get for each image is linked to the enumerators books. These will, eventually, become available to view. If you've already paid for an image, you'll get the RG78 image at no extra charge. An added bonus of having the householder schedule is that we get to see the handwriting of one of our ancestors. Often, but not always, this was the head of household. Like you, I've found the place of birth of a couple of my ancestors gave the village/town and county they were born in (good news). Unfortunately, PRs for the relevant place/time have yet to make it on-line (bad news). -- Regards _ / ) "The blindingly obvious is / _)rad never immediately apparent" Well well well, you just can't tell My Michelle - Guns 'N' Roses
