I recently dipped my toe in and bought some credits, I think it was on FindMyPast - I paid £10 and they disappeared in a few minutes without anything very satisfactory being found. It seemed once I had looked at the record I wanted (in facsimile form) I was considered to have used up 50 credits and could not get back to it. (Apologies if this was not FindMyPast). Anyway I now know I need to look for a very specific individual and their household on the 1901 and 1911 censuses and want to look at the original returns. What is the best site to use?

I use Ancestry for all census records except 1911 - not on yet

I use FMP for the 1911 and take out a yearly subscription (about £50.00 I think) but you can access ad many records as you like. You get a copy of the actual form, filled in by the householder, usually with a signature.

I think you can pay as you go, but that's not very good value.

Post who you are looking for...and I will
have a look............

i post me questions on here and use all the sites

If you live in the UK, a lot of libraries have free access to ancestry.

I am looking for Job Charles Jenkins born in 1862 lived with his family in Islington in London - for both censuses I think.
