The 1911 census is complete
The 1911 census is complete – all remaining records have been added, and so have the RG78 enumerator’s summary book pages. Records for the Islands of Alderney, Guernsey, Isel of Man, Jersey and Sark, troops stationed in overseas military bases, and crew serving on Royal Navy ships are now ready for you to search.
Find Britain’s soldiers and sailors all over the globe
In 1911 the British Empire was nearing the peak of its powers. The empire, which was the largest in history, spanned much of the globe and the overseas military records from the 1911 census – which includes both military establishments and Royal Navy ships overseas – show its troops stationed all over the globe. Soldiers can be found in such disparate locations as Cyprus, Hong Kong, Malta, India and South Africa, as well as in other places not within the empire, such as Alexandria in Egypt and Tientsin in China.
View the enumerator’s summary-book pages at no extra cost
The pages from the enumerator’s summary books, which are now available for the entire census, can add depth to your 1911 census research. The summary books are a combination of descriptive and statistical information from the district. The information to be found in the List and the District description are probably of most interest to the family historian and can give you an overall picture of your ancestor’s neighbourhood and its character.
The Enumerator’s summary pages are included in the cost of viewing an image. If you’ve already viewed 1911 census images, you can now view the corresponding summary-book pages at no extra cost.
