Just read the latest Lost Cousins newsletter and it has a link to the 2011 census form...

http://www.ons.gov.uk/census/2011-censu ... ngland.pdf

Although I have only skimmed it so far (it's 32 pages), not only does it only ask for first and last names, it also only asks for COUNTRY of birth, so not going to be very helpful for our descendants.

You'd think with all the interest in genealogy these days, the ONS might have given a bit more thought to it!

As long as the neighbours don't report you to the local constabulary for growing 'pot'-plants under 'artificial light', Alan :lol:

Hello Frances & Mary,

I decided against a pot-plant behind the monitor and settled on dust. Actually it was the dust that settled and I just went along with it.

All the best,
Alan
