Place in Dorset?
« on: Thursday 09 March 23 17:49 GMT (UK) »
Good evening

Today I am returning to genealogy for the first time in a few years and have decided to look at the 1921 Census as a starting point.

Already I have come up with a question which I wonder if anyone could assist with. The person in question has written his place of birth but I can't work it out. I've tried lots of different possibilities to no avail. Other census from different years suggest he was born in Crewkerne or Broadwindsor. He disappears in the 18881 and 1891 so I was trying to find him via the 1921 using the new place of birth.

For info he was William Walter Warry b1858 ish.

I am attaching a copy of the entry below.

Thanks for any help

Regards

Broadwinsor is in Dorset, Crewkerne is in Somerset.

In which Registration District was his birth registered?
Garrad (Suffolk, Essex, Somerset), Crocker (Somerset), Vanstone (Devon, Jersey), Sims (Wiltshire), Bridger (Kent)

So, to be clear, you are looking for William Walter Warry, born 1858, in the 1881 and 1891 censuses?

Hi JenB

Basically, yes.

Due to work commitments etc a few years ago, I had to stop building the tree.

William was one of my brick walls at the time having tried allsorts of ideas. He eventually turned up in the 1901
in Narborough, Leics having married in Blaby in 1892.

I wondered if he was in the army or something but couldn't find him.

I was trying to use the new birth place in new searches rather than putting on members to search. However, if anyone had any ideas I'd be very grateful!

In the 1911 Census he gives pob as Centerford and I think that is what is on the 1921 Census spelt Sentifa.
Smith Tiplady Boulton Branthwaite King Miller Woolfall Bretherton Archer and many more

Ooooops sorry about that, 13 years ago, no wonder I'd forgotten.
