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.

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: 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."

I have picked this thread up halfway through and would like to ask a question. Have you looked at the transcription or the original page yet? or simply done a search and found his results? The institution in Notts in 1901 was the Workhouse and unless you were the Officers family or worked there you were classed as a pauper. The address of all mine are at the very bottom right side of the page.

I have done a search for Thomas Oakland living in Nottinghamshire and put WORKHOUSE in the resedential place section and found him, listed on the left as Institution. I would glean from this that he is in the Notts Workhouse.
