1911 census

The asylum one of my g.uncles was in is listed, as is his name.  The address is given at the bottom of the page and starts     "County Lunatic Asylum".  He is shown as a patient.

Thanks.  That makes a bit of a nonsense of hiding the "sensitive details" elsewhere, doesn't it?

apologies if this has been covered but I can't work it out and don't want to waste credits trying, if I buy a transcript for 10 credits and decide to then buy the original page, is it still another 30 full credits, or just 20 to 'upgrade'?? Thanks.

Hi Acorna,

That's 30 more credits I'm afraid

I've got the opposite of that. I know my great grandfather was blind because my Mum told be about it - he was involved in a fire at a  forge or something like that. However, it's all blanked out and I won't be able to know 'officially' until 2012.

Hi

My ancestor George Clift was lame according to the 1891 and 1901 census. I have not yet viewed the 1911 returns but will do so soon. He was 71 by 1911 and in previous censi he was a bootmaker.

I wonder if someone can help me with a fresh pair of eyes and maybe some county advice.

I was so excited about the release of the 1911 census as I would finally be able to find that ancestor that vanished from the 1901 census.  But alas no.  I know he lived way beyond 1911 so it's not a case of him dying between census.

Ther person I am looking for is Henry (William) Carpenter born 1870 in Stretham (Stretham seemed to be in London on 1870 census then was later listed as in Kent and then Surrey).  I seem to be able to find anyone that could fit.  Where was Stretham in 1911, was it part of London, Surrey or Kent?

I just need to narrow it down a bit more.

Any help gratefully received!

There's a Streatham, is that the one you mean?  try entering it as birthplace in the search details, leaving the county out, and see if that yields anything promising.

I think I have managed to trace my Grandfather who was in the army in 1911. The military transcript shows he was based in this country (Horfield Barracks in Bristol), but I cannot confirm it is him as the original image is not available. The original would confirm his place of birth.

Any ideas when the image may be made available as I thought the whole of Gloucestershire was online?
