Please can anyone help me, I am looking for information on Gordon James Roddick born in n Cardiff about 1902 married Winifred Eleanor Richards in 1929, my grandparents (long passed on) He worked for the western mail for many years.
I have found a 1901 census record for Ann st in canton cardiff with a family of Roddick's living there, head of household was Thomas Richards, if someone could take a look at the 1911 census and see if the same family has a son called Gordon James at about the right age I would be grateful.
Cheers
Phil

Hi Phil
I'm sorry, but requests for look-ups in this census are not allowed on RootsChat.
However, there are plenty of suggestions and advice on this thread:

Remember if you are using Ancestry, the complete census is not yet online. FindMyPast, GR and the official 1911 site do have the complete census for England & Wales.

The free 1911 index has an entry for him living in Cardiff. Follow the instructions below for other family members
USING THE FREE 1911 INDEX TO DETERMINE THE CORRECT HOUSEHOLD
http://www.1911census.co.uk/search/tnaform.aspx
Once you find a possible match - make a note of the county and district in which the person was living
Return to the index and in PERSONAL DETAILS - just put the surname of the family - nothing else
In LOCATION - Select the county and below it - type in the district
In OTHER MEMBERS OF THE HOUSEHOLD - show the full name of the person you have found on the index
Click SEARCH
The 1911 census is strictly pay per view so you will have to buy credits to view the full entry - the above instructions will only help to possibly show others of the same surname in the same household

Hi
On your other post - a reply timed at 21.08 advised you that 1911 lookups were not allowed
You acknowledged that reply at 22.02pm but went on to again ask for a 1911 lookup on this post at 22.07
-
Yeah sorry about that, I assumed that you menat I was asking in the wrong forum as this forum is for people asking for look ups.
I'll hand myself over to the police later today.

Thanks for the links on both topics, Crisane.
Carole, thank you the Moderators are quite capable of dealing tactfully with any transgressions, inadvertent or otherwise. Please try not to be so abrupt to other users.
Clotty, you're welcome to continue on this thread using resources that are freely available to our "helpers" but I've locked your other topic to avoid duplication of effort, which can cause annoyance when people are giving their time freely. Hope you find the clues you need.
Kind regards, Arranroots ;)

H Clotty
do you actually want to follow the Roddicks back through the censuses or was it just the one census you were interested in?
-
Thanks for that, I'm sorry if I did cross any lines, but was unaware of the rules for the 1911 census, I would like help in tracing the Roddicks a bit further back if anyone can and is allowed to help.
I believe that Thomas Roddick's wife, Elizabeth's maiden name was Sheen But I'm not certain, if so it would be nice to find out some info about her.
I think there were other members of the Roddick family living in cardiff during and after the War(II) My father seems to remember one being the landlord of a=n old pub on the top of Rumney hill.
I think I can look into that a bit further in Cardiff Library.
One last question, is there a part of the forum that gives tips on which organisation is the best to sign up with and how to go about putting together all the info one gathers.
Thanks

I was not being abrupt and am surprised at your reply suggesting I was

There are various threads on the Census and Resource Discussion board about the best value paying sites as it really depends what resources you want to look at. http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/board,145.0.html
Many libraries have free access too.
There are also lots of other free sites to search as well. The 1881 census is free so well worth looking at that. www.freebmd.org.uk has many civil registration records. Freecen, Freereg etc.
