Hi Trish

As far as I'm aware, what is available for the 1911 England census are copies of the original household returns. What will be made available for the 1911 for Scotland are copies of the enumeration books - which is what we have on SP for every other Scots census. (I seem to remember hearing that the original 1911 returns were destroyed)

The information is no more basic than we have for any other Scots census from what I cn see in the example page given on SP, and includes extra pieces of info which were not included prior to 1911. e.g "children born alive", "children still living"

Best wishes
Lesley
