Title: Orlando Morris on 1921 census
Post by: scarboroughsarah on Wednesday 26 March 25 13:02 GMT (UK)
Hi.
I'm trying to trace my great grandfather's line (Orlando Morris born 1882) but cannot find him or his wife Margaret Ann (Corless) or their family on the 1921 census.
I have the 1891, 1901 and 1911 censuses but can't locate the 1921 census with them on.
If anyone knows how I can find it, please let me know. Thanks :-)

I didn't put in a christian name at all! Just surname Morris, approx year of birth and birthplace (which I found on an earlier census).

Quite a few names popped up but Crlande seemed the obvious one  :)
