Roy, Sorry, but you are incorrect too. If you scroll back to the first page, you will not find the institution either. I happened to be at TNA last Tuesday when it went live, so took the opportunity to look then. One of my tree was in an institution, and I though as you did that scrolling back to the first page would give me the name of the institution, but it didn't. The only way I could find the institution ewas to look at the transcription page. When I queried this, it appears the institution name is on the page before the first name, and this is one of those ' additional pages' that we will be able to see 'soon'. The only way at the moment to find the institution is too look at the transcription. I believe therefore, that if you are paying to see the information, for an intitution the transcription is more use than the image. Finally, another lister suggested Nottingham Workhouse, but you have to be careful. There are 3 Joseph OAKLANDs listed in Notts., Two shown as Basford and one as Nottingham, yet if you search for Thomas OAKLAND resident in Basford, all three are pulled up, and if you put in Basford Workhouse, you pull up just the one.. There were several workhouses in Basford district though, so you stil lcannot be sure that it was Basford Workhouse itself. regards, Dai Dai Roy Stockdill wrote: From: "Doreen" [1]<reen2@optusnet.com.au> Hi Roy They have released the 1911 census a year early as you know. One of the conditions of release was that the institution information is not revealed until 1912. It should tell you on the 1911 site somewhere because I have read it online but cannot recall which site. Hope this helps Regards Doreen > Dear nottsgen. Ihave visited the 1911 census and I have found out my Grandfather was in an institution but it does not tell me what sort of institution it was or where. The original page has all male names. how could I get more information on this. His name was Joseph Oakland.Was it a prison or Workhouse. can anyone help.Roy Langham. > Actually I don't think that is correct. The only information blanked out is the very last column of the schedule which reveals whether someone was handicapped in some way. I think you probably could find out what the institution was but it would mean loooking at every page until you get to the first one and this, of course, could cost you many units. -- Roy Stockdill Professional genealogical researcher, writer & lecturer Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: [2]www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."
