1911 Census Lost Family
« on: Monday 03 March 14 13:45 GMT (UK) »

Hi

I have just wasted a stack load of credits on Scotlands People trying to pick my ancestors up on the 1911 census, not sure why as got lots of accurate perimeters entered on the search boxes.

The names are Thomas McCall (b.1856 Ayr) and either Jane, Jean or Jeanie his wife (nee Boyle).

I have reason to believe that they lived at 66 Prince Edward Street as I have got them there on the 1901 census and the address appears on one of their childrens marriage certificates dated 1914.

However just cannot seem to pick them up, which is proving costly and frustrating!

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks for suggestion just checked the record but not them, good candidate though.

Maybe they were on vacation in 1911!  :-\

Hi Tom 23.

Is Prince Edward Street in Ayr? I'm not sure where that is/was?
Or is it in Glasgow?

Looby :)

Thanks Gadget.
The reference to Ayr confused me - and I'm easily confused today :P - as I'd never heard of that street.

Hi Tom,

What were the children's names? Just to give me an alternative to search?
