Hi, I know you have pushed Findmypast before over ancestry and I did try a trial subscription but, I actually prefer ancestry as meets more of my needs better it also offers quite a lot of australian info. Obviously if all you want is a 1911 census detail then ancestry won't help at the moment. But there might be a better less expensive way to obtain this than subscribing to either of them. I find the 1911 census less helpful in my research as I have known relatives who were alive then. Mind you I have one very elusive one and I would love to know more about her whereabouts after 1920.
