Title: Arthur Woodhouse - Census help!
Post by: MrJ4m3s on Thursday 01 May 14 07:06 BST (UK)
Hi everyone!

Im struggling to find this gentleman, he disappears after the 1901 census :(
His birth was registered at Dudley in 1885 & on the 1901 census he resided in Sedgley.
Can anyone shed any light? :)

I have his parents as Thomas & Sarah Ann Woodhouse in 1891. In 1901 his father Thomas was down as a widow.

Is the name spelt properly on the census you have?

I can see an Arthur Woodfield born 1885 Sedgley with a widowed father Thomas in 1901.
This family has two other sons listed Alfred and Thomas.

on Ancestry too readily as you describe?

I think Thomas father and Arthur are living together in 1911.

1891 Census shows Thomas & Sarah living with children James, Joseph, Alfred, Thomas, Arthur & Beatrice. Thomas snr, Joseph & Alfred were all farm labourers and Thomas jnr was a colliery bandsman. They resided at 6 Straits Green, Sedgley.

1901 Census shows widow Thomas as head of house with children Alfred, Thomas & Arthur. Thomas snr & Alfred were farm labourers and Thomas jnr & Arthur were iron safe makers. They resided at 6 Straits Green, Sedgley.

Arthur Woodfield can be found in 1911 by searching for Authur Woodfield, born Staffordshire!
Living in Sedgley with his father.
