My SIL's birthday is the 29th and so she will be older than she wants to be in this census :-) It is quite sad looking at all the information to fill in this time about the children to think that by the time the next one comes out we may only have 1 left at home :-(( but perhaps we will have grandchildren staying instead (now that is scary) Donna Mum to (17) Kimberley(16), Kayleigh(13), (11), Kara (4) [homebirth at last] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2001 Report Share Posted April 23, 2001 's already replied to that query, but honestly, do they think I have time on a Sunday with all the DK's home, to fill in a form? They must be joking! Lesley ------------------------------- From: But how can you fill it in until you know who will be in your house on the 29th April, what if you unexpectedly have to go away.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2001 Report Share Posted April 23, 2001 We are actually going to be away as we go for our holiday's on Thursday but as we are going to Denmark we figured that would count anyway I also seem to remember there saying something about it being the people who normally recedes at this address??

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2001 Report Share Posted April 23, 2001 The people delivering the Census try to catch you in twice by calling at different times of the day. They will post your form in if they can't catch you in. Hope yours arrives soon! BTW I thought it was the Census being delivered the other day and didn't answer the door (because I wasn't dressed), they left a card .... it was a florist trying to deliver surprise flowers from Gethyn!! I never did tell him that the surprise was ruined when I had to arrange for them to be redelivered ;-). Jenni.

Hey, thats >a thought lets all go away for the night and skew the results!! > > Lesley, You have to fill it in for people who " usually live at the address " and there is no box or question to ask if you are not actually there on the night of 29th April. There is a visitors box though (names only) so if you were staying say with friends they would have to add you in there -but it wouldn;t affect your own form. Ours is all filled in ready to post ASAP after April 29th.... anyone know if there is a deadline? Angi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2001 Report Share Posted April 24, 2001 ------------- From: fab131 [ DD2 was born on 30 April last year (at 1.58am). I was at home until about midnight when I went into hospital so if it had been this year would I have been on our family's form or hte hospital one?!! But to mark such a good occasion ie half the night at home (groaning presumably) and half the night in hospital (groaning more and then celebrating) surely one should state something like half and half (first stage and second/third stage and champagne stage?!!) But of course computers dont have a SOH; however on the Society of Genealogists site people are moaning like crazy about the formatting of info and that no place available for place of birth etc because as a genealogical tool in the future it's going to be a lot less useful than past ones. And after all, in the future, what else is it good for, by the time it's released, except for historical purposes? Caro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
