1911 Scotland Census - Look up request
« on: Sunday 19 October 14 10:11 BST (UK) »
Hi

I don't know if anyone can help me but I'm looking for Jesse Manley (b. 1863) on the 1911 census but believe he moved to Scotland around this time (Kirkcaldy, I think).
I don't have any other Scottish records that I need to check so I'm not keen on purchasing credits for ScotlandsPeople.
Would anyone with access to these records be able to look up Jesse Manley for me or is there anywhere else these records can be found?

Thanks

There are only 7 Manley's in Kirkcaldy in 1911 , 2 Adults and 5 children

Scotlandspeople is the only source for the 1911 Scottish Census.

Was Jesse's wife Sarah(nee Davis age 35 in 1911) ?

Hi

Thanks for that - was that showing Jesse living with another Jesse or was that just showing that there were two Jesse Manleys living in Kirkcaldy?

Jesse's wife was indeed Sarah Davis, I imagine that they are the two adult Manleys in Kirkcaldy in 1911. The five children should all be theirs then - I'm trying to find out if they had a daughter called Sallie,  born around 1909 - 1911.

I just searched for Jesse Manley 1911 Scotland and those two came up.
Looking at them it is reasonable to suppose that they are father and son.
The number 442/00 032/00 010 is the same in each which makes me think they are in the same house.

Ev says there were 7 Manleys in Kirkcaldy in the 1911 census.
I presume the other 5 were living with these two.

The free index on SP has a Sally Manley age 1 living with a Jesse and Sarah in Kirkcaldy.

Would anyone with access to these records

Scotland's People is the only way of accessing the 1911 census online. The only other way is to go to the Scotland's People Centre or one of the archives in Scotland that have access to SP, and that is not free either. So anyone who looks this up for you will have to pay to do so.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Hi everyone

Thanks for all the help & ev for confirming Sally is living with Jesse and Sarah. That's given me enough to go on for the time being  :)
