Hi,

Would anyone who subscribes to FindMyPast be able to do a look-up for me please on the 1911 census?
I am looking for details of William Griffin born 1908 age 3 (male) in the registration district of Reading, Berkshire. I would like to know where he is living and who he is living with please. I subscribe to Ancestry.com and can only view the summary and would be happy to return the favour if someone needs something from Ancestry.

Many thanks.

Nicky - just a suggestion. If you want a 1911 lookup, put that in your heading rather than FMP as some of us have just the sub to 1911 but not the main site. I almost didn't look!
