What a generous offer ! Really looking forward to trying the 1911 census . Expect it will be pretty busy - so I guess we should cheer on England all the way to the final . 3 hours eh ? That''s enough time for extra time and penalties -....

If anybody is lucky enough to get on the site ('cos I sure can't) could you look up Matilda Naden born 1895 (there only is one) Derbyshire on the 1911 census please. I would like to know who she is living with.

Ditto. Sounds like a big publicity stunt to me - and one which might backfire if they're not careful. I mean, why make a promise they can't fulfill - of course we were all going to swamp the site tonight - what did they expect?

Christine,

I've just seen your post - thank you so much. I wonder if either of the other 2 servants was the father of her illegitimate daughter................

Maybe most people are getting fed up trying now!

Thanks again,
Annette
