1841 and 1851 censuses coming online in 2006 .....

Post by **AndrewP** » Fri Dec 23, 2005 8:05 am

I see GROS / SP have been brave. They have named months for these two censuses coming online.

1841 - Feb/Mar 2006
1851 - Jan 2006

And there was me, sworn to secrecy

Both dates are believable, - the only problem could be that the 1851 images have a much higher proportion of bad/faint images compared to the other censuses, - to the extent that GROS reckon that they may have to add resources to the "SP Unit" to cope with a flood of contact forms.

With both the 1841 and 51 Census coming on line wouldn't it have been great if SP could have introduced a method of people buying gift vouchers. I don't want to appear as if I am not thankful for the gifts/vouchers I will be receiving tomorrow but imagine a big stack of credits just waiting to be wielded in the New Year.

Hmmmmmmm........ NRH are selling NRH vouchers, but no mention of SP vouchers................

But if vouchers can be set up for the 1901 census and other sites, why not for SP

Hello David,

bearing in mind Stewie's comments about keeping secrets, have another look at my e-mail to the UG on 21st November titled "Snippets from Richard".

To everyone else, sorry for being cryptic.

Regards,

John

Ah ken, ah ken, but I was unable to disclose before today, - sworn to total secrecy by Raymond, - that it was originally going to be the 1841 in January, due to the bad quality of the 1851 images; decision since reversed as the overall quality of the 1851 images is not quite so bad as originally feared

Hello David,

sorry to be so cryptic that you picked the wrong topic: my fault! The e-mail where I mentioned the news about the censuses also contained something about vouchers.........

Regards,

John
