The Furness Family History Society provided findmypast.co.uk with this data.

Overnight, we have uploaded records for the remaining English Counties (Northumberland, Cumberland, Westmorland) and added the missing Gateshead district records into the county of Durham (they were incorrectly listed as part of Northumberland - this is now fixed and they are searchable under Durham, as they should be). These are now available on our sister site 1911census.co.uk.

Therefore all English counties are now complete.

Scanning of Welsh records is well underway and we are working on the transcriptions of the first batch of Welsh counties, which will be the next data release. Although we do not have a precise release date for them yet, we anticipate that we will have some data from Wales available in the next 4 to 6 weeks.

Findmypast.com users can sign in to the 1911census.co.uk site using their findmypast sign in details but the records are only searchable using PayAsYouGo credits.
