Each line is in a different handwriting. Looks like Dad did his bit and then passed the form around for each family member to complete their own details.
He signed the declaration to say it was correctly filled up to the best of his knowledge and belief, didn't need to say he had actually written it all so he wasn't telling any fibs.

Dad signed forms but most were filled in by mother or me.

I spent time looking at the 1921 census for my great great grandmothers brother in Hull until I realised he died in 1914.  :-[

I learnt the hard way, I couldn't wait for the day to arrive and in my excitement clicked to pay £2.50, then I wanted to view the image so that cost me £3.50. I take my time now and only pay when I really have to. It is a lesson .......... ;)

After reading the comments about the 1921 Census on the forum I decided to take a look at my ancestors’ entries.
First my grandad (mum’s dad) neat entry everything as should be even the order of occupants correct.
Then my other grandad (dad’s dad) another neat entry, except for some confusion about where he worked, both his job and his place of work had been scored out and altered.
I then thought I would try my mum’s first husbands’ family his father, a proud Welshman filled out the entry everything was filled out neatly, but then he decided to change the place of birth of his and his children’s entries by scoring out Woofferton and adding Richard’s Castle. So, I checked the 1911 census and he was happy to claim they were born in Herefordshire, Woofferton on that. Intrigued I took a look at the 1901 and low and behold only he and his eldest daughter were on that census and both were from Woofferton, Richard’s Castle, seems he couldn’t make up his mind. 😉
I thought Woofferton was in Shropshire but I checked and it is on the border with a part in each county and possibly more importantly for him it used to be part of the Welsh Marches.
Cheers

Same here but I think I opted out of FindMyPast e-mails. I did get an e-mail from TNA today  though.

We do get a 10% discount as subscribers ordinarily.

  Unfortunately I can't think of anything now I want to check. I have already got the few obvious ones. More general local history research is going to have to wait.
