1911 census

I believe someone earlier in this link said they had found the person theywere looking for in an Institution but the name of the Institution was not shown.

I have found that if you click the slot for "View for Printing", top RH side of page it will show the name of the Institution at the bottom of the page.

My apoligies if this has alrerady been mentioned.

I think middle names were mentioned earlier as a way of refining the search.

I have just discovered that searching without a middle name, where one exists on the transcription, can return a null result!

For example: searching for Reuben BAYFORD found nothing - even with various spellings.  Searching for William BAYFORD found lots - including Reuben William BAYFORD!!

Strange!

Thats odd.

I searched for a Mary Anne Williams .... result, nothing.

Then I dropped the Anne, and up she came, but WITH the Anne in the transcription !

Me too, I found the same with a Reuben Leonard, drop the Leonard and up it came with the Leonard there.  Hmmmm

Some kind of prejudice against Reubens??

I was looking for Robert Slade and found the wrong one as the inmate of an Institution.  The transcript gives the address of the institution, "21 Marylebone road, Marylebone W, London" but does not give the name of the institution.  A quick Google failed to turn up the name and as he was not my Robert Slade I lost interest.  (My Robert did turn up in another institute - patient, Islington Infirmary - I was happy to find him but not pleased to have wasted 40 credits on the other one!)

All the best

I note what Meliora said about "view for printing" but cannot find this particular 'slot' as the download fills the whole page.
My problem is that having found my family without father living in Marylebone I later found him in an institution and try as I might I cannot find what or where this institution is.
Is it the workhouse or hospital or prison or nuthouse?

Well it is usually 'easy' - just back up the pages until you see the name - however under current greedy charging reginme that might not be the best way

This might be a silly idea, but if the address is on the return could you not try and google it??  You might get lucky.
