Hello,
Using Findmypast I have found the family that I'm looking for in East Cliff, Dover in the 1901 census, together with all the rest of the properties in that road, yet in the 1911 census I cannot find the same road at all. I know that the same properties were and in fact still are there and the road today is still known as East cliff. Any ideas as to why I'm not able to find it on the 1911 census.
It is by the way, for anyone who knows Dover, the road that runs alongside and just behind Marine Parade under the cliffs.
David.

Try the address search on FindMyPast and type in East* as the street and Dover as the place. I think it has been transcribed as "East Cliff Dover" as opposed to East Cliff

Hi
Very many thanks Mo, it has worked a treat. I wonder if you might also have a solution to not being able to access Ross Barracks in Cheriton in the 1911 census, I've tried many ways but get everywhere in Cheriton except the barracks. Thanks.
David.

Always thought that it was Shorncliff Barracks in Cheriton ???

As mosiefish states Ross Barracks were part of Shorncliffe Military coplex of Barracks etc. This link will give you a better insight. 8)

Try RG14, Piece 4649, Registration District 66, SD 1, Enumeration District 25 though I haven't looked myself and I'm not sure if it covers the whole camp.

Hello,
Many thanks to you all for your replies, the website looks good especially some of the photos, I shall spend some time on there. The address that I had was Ross barracks, Shorncliffe camp but I tried without success all combinations that I could think of, even other establishments failed to find it, I shall have a try with your suggestion Casalguidi, fingers crossed. thanks again.
David.
