1921 census

I think that possibly Maddiesons holiday camp opened about this time in Hemsby near Yarmouth, I stand to be corrected though

1921 census - Why aren't my family at home?

Apologies, Marmalady, I love the camping photograph BUT it always amazes me that the wearing of formal hats was so prevalent at that time.  Camping in the wilds, BUT you had to wear your hat 

ADDED:  I've just remember that I have a photograph of my grandfather, sitting on the sand at the seaside BUT wearing a 3-piece suit!!!!

The  first proper holiday camp in the country, Hemsby was opened back in 1920 by Harry Maddieson. The little 9 acre full-board camp, no tents, continued to be run by the Maddieson family for 50 years until being sold to Pontins around 1970, .

I went with 3 friends and a set of parents to Maddison's in 1960, I made friends with a lad there who was holidaying on is own, I wrote to him as did one of my friends but after a few months he came to London and we started going out together, we married in 1964, we went back for our first anniversary, there was no takers so I had to bring him back !!!!!. I discovered that my husband was actually related to the Maddieson's , uncle Harry was his Gt uncle. as mentioned above it closed about 1970 and was bought by Pontins, just across from Maddison's was another camp called Seacroft, a privately run camp, they had football and cricket matches against each other, it was huge fun

Nothing at all to do with the 1921 but holidays were mentioned

What's also interesting in the link I posted above, is mention of the way the census was analysed. The 1911 did use partial mechanical analysis but the1921 was the first to use complete mechanical statistical analysis, using Hollerith cards. I recall using them even as late as the early 1970s.

TNA has a document that details the forms and instructions for the census, which includes a couple of images of the machines used.

The readers I used were a little bit more modern than that

Pre-dated by Cunningham's Holiday Camp which opened at Howstrake, Isle of Man in 1898!
Had a seated escalator installed in 1919.

Well I can find most of the ones I want except my gt grandfather Richard Bond Cocks.

Have you considered the one in this household? The ages of Richard and Mary are off slightly but I wonder if they were trying to close the gap (the marriage record has a 14 year difference).

Altrincham, Bucklow, Cheshire

Ebenezer Warburton; born c1890, Cadishead, Lancashire
Emma Ann Warburton; born c1889, Irlam, Lancashire

He was a Clerk of the Works for Altrincham Council, boarding with the Warburtons.
Mary is the interesting one. I have her parents and she married inSt Ann’s Cathedral Belfast. Not sure when she was widowed or came to England
