Hi Dolphin

Yes, the original 1901 census details are available to search at your local record office and at places like The Family History Centre in London. (or rather the original enumerators books are available)

You have to stop and think who were the people who transcribed the 1901 for it to go on line - If my memory serves me correct, it was not done in England or by people who use English as their mother tongue - and all the silly little mistakes in occupation and places verify this.

They will be there somewhere, try doing a 'soundex' search or as some call it a 'fluffy search' have to keep doing.

Look at the name you are trying to find and substitute an 'e' for a 'c' or an 'o' etc;  m or n or r very often get mixed up as well - keep at it till you score a hit.

thanks Chris, the name in question is ORAM
you would have thought that they could have got just four letters right !!
