As someone who does Family History / genealogical research may I make a plea on behalf of your unborn descendants?
Please do a paper census return, and what is more make a copy [scan & print it]
The 1911 census became available in January, 100 years after your ancestors filled it in, you can see their handwriting plus signatures and details of the family
Please save your unborn descendants a 100 year wait by copying your 2011 paper return
PS thanks to paper returns I know my great great great grandfather was blind in 1861, information I would never know without a census return, so go on, do a paper one & make a copy

I know from the 1901 census that my great grandfather was in Bournemouth prison!

Or do what I did, fill it in on the paper one first then transfer the info to the on line one, and file the paper one!
Simples!!

Thats what I did yesterday as well because I made a few mistakes on the paper one which I then corrected but it looked a mess. I then done the online one and i will keep the paper one on file good Idea.
As all the paper ones are going too be scanned into a computer by the ONS I think they will shred them after not keep them like we do at work most documents we get now are scanned then shredded not kept.

That sounds like the test I did a few years ago for a Sainsbury's job. It was pages of questions to put in order and for most of them I wanted a new box - none of the above. I started ticking in rotation, a then b then c then a etc.
Didn't get the job.

Haha! I googled census question 17; I'm now guessing you live in Wales?

I often talk a complete load of b0110cks which could easily be mistaken for welsh.
