We’ve added a full set of enumerators’ summary book (RG78) images to our 1911 census records. When you view a 1911 census image you will now see links to the accompanying summary book pages in the frame above the image (as shown below).

Find out what it was like in your ancestors’ neighbourhood

The enumerators’ summary book (RG78) images are filled with useful information about the neighbourhoods in which your ancestors lived and they can also reveal details of relatives living nearby. The new images include:

• the front page of the volume in which the enumerator’s summary sheet was stored.
• enumerator’s summary original page - this not only shows the names of heads of households and how many people occupied the houses (showing you the neighbours), but also lists other buildings, whether houses or not.
• population statistics for the area.
• a description of the Enumerator’s walk.
• a map of the Enumerator’s walk (in some cases).

New household schedule images

As well as the RG78s, we’ve added some extra RG14 household (or institution) schedule images, which also make interesting viewing:
• the address panel from the back of the schedule, showing the address as written by your ancestors and the registration district and subdistrict
• the front page of the volume in which your schedule was stored, giving more detailed information on parishes and districts

Please note: some household schedules do NOT have Enumerators Summary Books, as a small number did not survive.

The 1911 census RG14 household forms are available in full. This means that you can search the census and find full details of your ancestors in the same way as you can on the 1841-1901 censuses.

To meet customer demand we have made the RG14s available at the earliest opportunity. We’re in the process of adding the accompanying enumerators’ summary book (RG78) images but, because of the vast number of images, these aren’t available just yet.

We’ll make all the surviving RG78s available very soon.
