Title: Mariners in 1911 UK Census
Post by: Sordibub on Tuesday 13 January 09 09:53 GMT (UK)
Hi
I found my relatives last night on the newly released UK 1911 census. The head of the household was, however, not present on census night. He was a sailor. I wonder does anyone know how to look specifically for those at sea in the census?

The census is, however, not complete and is missing "royal navy" and "military overseas" so I am wondering if merchant shipping might have fallen into one of these categories?

Can anyone advise?
