NEW UK COLLECTION |
|
|
1911 Census images only
|
|
We're pleased to announce that we've completed the first stage of our 1911 UK Census release. You can now browse the scanned record images from all over England, Wales, the Channel Islands, and the Isle of Man.
|
|
At present, it's not possible to search the records as you can with previous censuses. We've already started work on the transcriptions that will make this possible, and we're on track to have them all finished by the end of the year and will keep you updated on our progress.
There's more information on how to search these images on the Ancestry.com.au blog.

NEW AUSTRALIAN COLLECTION |

NSW Certificates of Publicans' Licenses
|
|
This is a collection of publicans' licenses for public houses in New South Wales between 1830–1860. The collection includes butts of licenses that stretch from 1830–1849 and actual certificates from 1853–1860. The licenses gave different establishments the legal right to sell alcohol.

We're giving you control of family merges
|
|
Got a hint in your family tree that's being suggested as a new person, but it really belongs to someone who's already in your tree? Prevent a duplicate entry by selecting "Not a New Person" then choose from the list to attach the details to their rightful owner. You can also use this brand-new feature to connect a hint that's suggested for the wrong relative. Select "Incorrect Match" then choose the person it really should be connected to. You'll find more information and tips on our blog.
