1921 Census

"common sense" doesn't always mean correct results!

My surname is often transcribed as Garrard, Gerrard, etc!

I have found a few instances of ancestors siblings remarrying inbetween 1911 and 1921 census, and finding previously unknown marriages, same for the 1939 register.

I feel the direct line is drying up now in terms of how far back I can go so I am focusing more on the direct ancestors I have already found, such as detailing their lives all the more such as any mentions in newspapers, or looking them on electoral rolls. But I am focusing more on ancestors brothers and sisters and beefing up on their lives and their children. The 1921 census has helped me find ancestors siblings in 1921 who seemed to vanish after 1911.

I think I found a 3xgreat aunty on the 1921 census, the age in months and years fits, and she was single and a servant, living just across the river from where she was in 1911, the only fly in the ointment is her birth parish in 1921 is wrong, and about 8 miles from the actual one, and her name was Elizabeth Taylor.

Common sense can't really be applied to surnames.  But I think it might have led to a correct spelling of Co-operative, and perhaps Gweers might have suggested Grocers, which on inspection could have been recognised ?

Helpfully correcting you!
