Mary Taylor of Stockport - missing from 1911 census? COMPLETED MANY THANKS

[yelkcub]

I've been trying to locate the census record for MARY TAYLOR in the 1911 census, without success. I know that Mary Taylor was born Dec Q 1840 in Stockport and that she was living in Stockport in 1911, a widow. Living with her was her daughter, also Mary Taylor (born 1880). In the 1901 census they lived at 78 Booth Street. If anyone has time and patience to be the proverbial 'extra pair of eyes' I'd be grateful. I've already tried the obvious permutations of 'Taylor', attempting to anticipate any transcription errors or dodgy handwriting (in an earlier census I found the family name transcribed as 'Saylor'!)

I wonder if the moderator considers this should go in the Look-up Requests forum?

Do you mean that you know they were on the census in 1911 but you just can't find them?

Try 'Faylor'.

Hi - I'm assuming that they would have been included in the census. The elder Mary died in 1924, and the younger Mary married in 1912 - both events in Stockport. From what I know of the family I'm almost certain that they never lived anywhere but Stockport.  As to occupation, it is possible that the elder Mary described herself as a confectioner. The younger Mary worked in a cotton mill I think. I suppose in such a large undertaking as a census some records must have been lost or missed. I certainly can't find this family in the 1911 census

1911 census information removed.

1911 census requests and look-ups are still not permitted on Rootschat.
