familysearch has:
name: James Plimmer
event: Census
event date: 1911
gender: Male
age: 27
birthplace: Barrow In Furness, Lancashire
record type: Household
registration district: Barrow In Furness
but trying to locate in 1911 on ancestry builds a brick wall - can hardly find any of them in previous census too on that site - argh! :o

Dear Plimmerian,
I subscribe to two other sites and found the following which could be your family.
1901 Census - Property 146 Mechanics Row, Newport, Shropshire
Charles (born 1861) Coal Miner - Hewer/ Mary (b. 1855) Wife / James (b. 1884) Coal Miner- Franksman / Rosetta (b.1885) / Alice (b.1889) / Mary (b.1892) / Edwin (b. 1893)
In the 1911 Census the property was described as 146 Mechanics Row, 146 Oakengates Road, Donnington Wood, Newport Shropshire. Five occupants were listed, the two parents, James (son), Mary (Daughter) Edwin (son). The two James were still listed as Coal Miner - Hewer.
However all these were born in Shropshire, so if your James was born in Barrow in Furness this is probably not your family !
Regards,

He appears to be on the free index in Barrow on FindMyPast in 1911.
If you don't have a sub they are currently offering 50 free credits as per Nicks post

I can't get any hits on ancestry for him - so frustrating knowing he is there!
>:(
-
sorry I fibbed - just got help and found him as Pritchard in 1911 on ancestry ;-(
-
found the 1901 census page by browsing districts - search facility doesn't work - even tried the following searches of people on the same page: Samuel Highton born Derby aged 56; Thomas Graham born Barrow aged 15; finally found using John Reynolds born Sedgley and Plimmer spelt correctly - don't understand!!!
I think the xmas frazzle is kicking in early this year :o

The words Barrow in Furness doesnt seem to fair well on index searches ,Yet I put in Askam in Furness and that is recognised straight away
I see James quite clearly in 1901 in Back Hartington St ,this is in the parish of St James,and the area is called Hindpool,so if you Google earth the street you will be able to see the house he lived in, as most of them are still there,

thanks for all those extra tip bits - all part of the tree I'm looking into right now - thank you , most helpful
best wishes
