Orlando Morris on 1921 census
« on: Wednesday 26 March 25 13:02 GMT (UK) »
Hi.
I'm trying to trace my great grandfather's line (Orlando Morris born 1882) but cannot find him or his wife Margaret Ann (Corless) or their family on the 1921 census.
I have the 1891, 1901 and 1911 censuses but can't locate the 1921 census with them on.
If anyone knows how I can find it, please let me know. Thanks :-)

I didn't put in a christian name at all! Just surname Morris, approx year of birth and birthplace (which I found on an earlier census).

Quite a few names popped up but Crlande seemed the obvious one  :)
