1911 census

[cb1964]

I did post the following earlier but I think it may have been overlooked due to the volume of posts on here. Does anyone have an answer?

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?

Can anyone help? I would be very grateful.

Whilst writing I am also trying to locate Ethel May Davis born in 1903 in Kingswood, Gloucestershire. Parents: Wallace Henry Tom Davis and Florence Ida Davis. Ethel married in 1925 where her father is shown as Henry Wallis Tom davis. In 1925 she was still living in the same area of Kingswood, so I have no readon to believe she wasn't there in 1911.

I'm running out of ideas

Hi CB,

There's a Wallice H T Davis in Keynsham Somerset, born Kingswood. Other people in the household:
Coreem M C age 10; Florence T age 34 ; Hilda W age 6; Maud A age 3; May E age 8; Reginald W age 9

You are a STAR! 

You may well have found her. All I need now is the original page, which is not yet available, for my grandfather & I will have found all my grandparents.

Many, many thanks.

Morning All
has anyone tripped over an Ethel Gladys Baillie, born 1890 Twickenham.  I can find her younger sister Gladys (13) still living with 63 year old Robert Baillie (Father) in Twickenham.  He on 02 April 1911 was living at 57 Holly Road.  Ethel Gladys Baillie on the 17 April 1911 (when she married) was living at 67 Albert Cottages (no road given). Would love to find her 15 days before she married my Grandfather - Frederick Jesse Coster Mills ( I have found him OK).
Cheers
Peter

just tried searching for Ada STAIT (born 1906 Ormskirk area)
and various spellings and have drawn a blank!

No father Joshua STAIT (d. 1921) or mother Annie STAIT (d. c1940s)

I'm worried now!

Wish we could search on a first name with a year of birth and location!

 

Try Joshua START with wife Annie, and Bertha, Enock and Ada all at Omskirk.

It is possible to search on a first name only (or even with no first name) if you enter (,) in the surname field.  Put in all three characters - a comma inside brackets.

I found the tip on another message board and it works for me!

Yes, that DOES work - thanks for sharing Koromo! That is an absolute boon!

Koromo you are a star! Put (,) for surname and grandfather's first name, year of birth and place and found him!!! Transcribed totally wrong (lol) instead of Godbehere...................Godbekers !!!!!! Grandma is there also, her surname should be Burt but census has her down as single, servant, housekeeper with the surname Godbekers also  . I know they lived together but Grandad could have told a lie and said she was his wife (she would have been 7 months preggers at the time with my Dad's sister! (lol)

Hi

Quite predictably my elusive gt gt uncle Archibald Douglas b 1844 Egham Surrey is not appearing on the 1911 census

After terrific efforts he was found in 1891 as Douglas Archibald
In 1901 I never found him, though I know he was living in Mortlake in 1898.

I must have viewed numerous pages trying to find him, god knows what that would cost on the 1911

He lived until 1924, and there is a photo of him with my aunt who is still alive, b 1918 when she was about 2

Hi

The (,) is fun but unfortunately I have still not found my missing person.  And even worse  have been thrown off because

the site is very busy

.  They suggest that I read the blog whilst waiting.

Grrrrrr
