1911 England Census Summary Books
« on: Monday 13 January 25 17:13 GMT (UK) »
Good afternoon, I wonder whether anyone can help me with what is probably a simple answer, but I can't seem to find it.
If I search for my Great Grandfather Alfred Leon Oger in the 1911 England census I get a "A Oger" in the Summary Books living at 5 Grove Street Islington, which could be him.
Unfortunately there is no year of birth or age.
If I l search under the 1911 census I only get one result which is not him.
Is this a standard dead end.
I am also interested in more information on W Bishop who was living with him.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Have you tried a search for W Bishop in 1911?  Suggest trying William living Islington.  You might find Alfred that way. 

When was Alfred born and where please?  Was he a boy or married in 1911.

So he is well found.  William Bishop is living with his family whilst Alfred is listed alone albeit at the same address.  He is occupying 2 rooms so perhaps lodging with the Bishop family.

Alfred is in a different residence, although the same address as the Bishops.
Possibly 1 residence on ground floor, and another on floor above.

Roberts - Spry: (Cornwall, Middlesex & Queensland)
Munster: (Schleswig-Holstein & Queensland) and Plate: (Braunschweig, Neubruck & Queensland & New York)

Thanks for the quick response - Alfred was born in 1866 in Brighton. I have now found his original submission and, as below, it is in the name of Oyer not Oger (which is a mistake.
The reason for the Bishop connection was that his wifes (Mary Denton) sister (Anne Victoria Denton) married a Bishop (Eric) and had a daughter Wendy. I think the W Bishop link is tenuous.

On a broader note, the reason for looking at this is that i have a lot of family and friends photos of my Grandfathers from the 1910's and 20's with names that I am trying to link up

Thanks for this it was a great help. I presume I just report to Ancestry that they have spelt his name wrong
