Hi

Is this the 1911 Eng & Wales census as the last column is 'language spoken'?

I had to look them up. I remembered them being spoken about when I was a girl!

Quote
'Post War Credit certificates were issued during the Second World War as recognition for the higher taxes paid by the public to support the war effort. The additional tax plus 38% interest was repaid by 1973 to most of those who had retained their certificates. Redeemed certificates were normally marked as cancelled

  My mother used to talk about her post-war credits - I don't think she ever got much back!
