census lookup Dale 1901, 1891 please

[Adrian1952]

Hi,
I am trying to find John George Dale in the 1901 and 1891 census, In the 1911 census he is shown as age 27 born Tramwell Gate Durham, and was living in Washington Co Durham. He was born in March 1884 in Tynemouth reg district. He was married to Margaret Fawcett Leigh in June 1903 Tynemouth reg district.

I have tried to find him myself with no luck and hope a fresh set of eyes will help.

Regards, Adrian

Hi Adrian,

I'm afraid I haven't found John as yet .. but could he have been born at Framwellgate in Durham .. ?

Hi Pels,

Thanks for getting back to me, yes it it could well be Framwell Gate rather than Tramwell Gate, I have just had another look at the 1911 census and it could be an F and not T.

Like you I've searched everywhere Adrian, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

There is one thing that is puzzling me ?

Assuming it was John who wrote the return in 1911, I wonder why he thought he was born in Framwellgate .. and not in Northumberland, which he would have been, if registered in Tynemouth .. ?

Hi Pels,

Thanks for your help, when i looked for John on the 1911 census i searched under Durham as i had been told that he was born in the Easington area.
Northumberland is not available yet on the 1911 website but should not be long. I am starting to wonder if i have the wrong John George and need to look under Northumberland? To make matters worse he was also know as George so in earlier census he could appear as George.
