Using the 1911 census

Tuesday 17 November

14:00 - 15:00

The 1911 census returns for England and Wales record the details of more than 35 million people. Although many of the questions asked in 1911 were the same as in previous censuses, there is also additional information which provides a fascinating insight into the lives of our Edwardian ancestors. This talk will look at the process behind conducting the 1911 census as well as taking a detailed look at the census form itself.

Dave Annal is The National Archives' Principal Family History Specialist. He formerly worked at the Family Records Centre and prior to this he was a professional family history researcher. He has written a number of books and articles on family history sources and is the co-author of Census: The Expert Guide which was published by The National Archives in September 2008.

This is a free event. Tickets will be issued on a first-come, first-served basis on the day and cannot be booked in advance.
