Subject: 1911 census

I was advised quite some time ago that the 1901 census was the last of
its type of much use to genealogists - the last recorded on a
name-by-name, house-by-house, street-by-street basis.

I was advised that the 1911 census was the first to be taken along the
lines of those today - more a statistical exercise - and that it is not
on a name-by-name, house-to-house, street-by-street basis.

Has anyone else received similar, or indeed, conflicting information?
I'd like to know whether my information is correct or not.

Mind you, at the moment it's a bit of an academic exercise isn't it?
Perhaps we could first fix up the 1901 ....

Regards,
Noel
