Many names and nouns in Dutch can have tje or pje added to the end to make a diminutive.

Hello
I think I can see why you're getting a problem. In your earlier thread you mentioned that you can see Sophia Foreman in 1851 and 1861 census at 42 Gun Street. That is correct, but it is Southwark not Spitalfields.

Hello
The RAF was formed on 1st April 1918 - that's why he transferred on that day.
Manktelow - a very unusual name - I have Manktelow cousins.

Technical Help / Re: Anybody have full fibre fitted?
« on: Monday 19 May 25 11:19 BST (UK) »
On mine the underground fibre cable is green. That terminates in the junction box and a black fibre cable goes through the house wall to the ONT inside the house. The ONT converts the Fibre optical signal to an electrical signal.
Exactly as Gadget described.

That entry in the 1921 census shows him as married with a child. His wife and child are also at the same place but in different pages of the record. I found the marriage in Dundee - definitely my man.
It's opened up new lines of research. So thanks again.
All the best
