We are not allowed to post full info from the 1921 census as it is only available by subscription on Ancestry & FindMyPast.  Ancestry access is free at most local libraries so check if yours is one of them

Ah right, no problem at all. Thank you
My local library doesn't hold this info. I'd have to go into Durham.

I think that if you register with FindMyPast you can search the site and then purchase copies by micropayment.  You don’t need a paying subscription

His mothers maiden name was Callender - per freebmd birth entry

Parents married 1909 per freebmd

mmn appears on birth entries on freebmd from mid-1911 so use freebmd to search for later births with same mmn.
