The Common Room / Re: People listed on the 1939 Register twice
« on: Wednesday 22 February 23 14:47 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks to all of you who replied. Luigi Callegari was married to my grandad's step sister Frances and they had 4 childen. So the redacted names makes sense athouigh his wife sems to be missing from one version. Living with them was my grandad's sister Minnie Ryan who was evacuated with her two children but she is only on one of the two versions of the census so it looks like only part of it was done twice, but why?

The address of Luigi is the same on both versions, 22 Downs Road in Canterbury so it can't be that Luigi was in the process of moving that day, I don't think the family lived in a caravan although there are caravans listed alongside. I supose its possible that he was mistakenly included on the same page as the caravan site by mistake even though his address is correct.

The information on the right hand side says DHA and a date which seems to indicate that they moved to Ashford in 1948.

The date 31.12.02 above one of his children dosn't have any relevent meaning to me.

So it's still a mystery. Has anyone else been included twice?

The Common Room / People listed on the 1939 Register twice
« on: Tuesday 21 February 23 20:54 GMT (UK)  »
On the 1939 Register I know a lot of names are missing as people were away on active service, others are of course retracted as they are presumed still living, but I did a search recently and noticed that one of my ancestors, who I had already found, was listed again. They lived in Canterbury. And what's odd is that the whole page seems to have been done twice but with different people, with one version having a lot of names are retracted. I checked the pages either side and these are different, so it seems that parts of the town were resistered twice.

I can't attach he entries due to copyright but the below screen grab shows the search includes the same name twice.

Is this a mistake or was it done for a particular purpose?

The Common Room / 1921 Census - questions/help needed please
« on: Saturday 03 December 22 20:30 GMT (UK)  »
I was hoping to look up various ancestors on the 1921 Census as part of my family history research but when I had a go and bought a one-off name I was annoyed to see that you can't see who is on the next page. I realise that you would have to pay to see the actual page but to know at least one of the names on the page would be useful as I need to know which familes were living in the same house. If you poay for the FindMypast premium membership does that allow you to instantly see next and previous pages, so you can see neighbours without actually looking them up separately as you can with the 1911 census?

Also I heard that there are a lot of mistranscribed names - eg my great grandfather David was down as Louis when I did a search for him, it is only because he has an uncommon surname that I worked out it was him. Is there any advice anywhere on how to get round this?

Plus does anyone know what the family trees are like on FindMyPast. I read that if you buy the annual premium membership it is very expensive but allows access to extras including family trees.

Thanks. I found the census record a while ago but only just noticed the change of profession. It strikes me as a bold choice of new profession for someone who was a carpenter all thier life.

My ancestor George Bloomfield was a carpenter by trade all his life but on the last census records he appears on in 1891 (when he was 75) his trade has changed to what looks like Tea Agent. Is this is what it says or could it be something else? And if it is does anyone know exactly what a tea agent was?
Please see clipping from census below.

I received no further replies re this enquiry. Has anyone ever visited the Lancashire Record Office and looked up the records for the Akbar? What sort of information do the records include? Any info would be useful, thank you.
