What does it mean?
« on: Monday 14 August 17 14:41 BST (UK) »
Apologies if this is posted in the wrong place.

On the 1911 census for England,the place of birth for my G Gandfather is written as Dublin resident.

What does it mean by resident?

I know he was born in Dublin, Ireland but at the time of the census in 1911, he was living in Cheltenham with his wife and children.

Hi welcome to RootsChat! :)

I think your last sentence answers the question - see the heading at the top of the column.
Today I broke my personal record for most consecutive days alive.

He was a Dublin resident in 1911 at the time it was reported. Cheers

Surely, following the instructions posted by Geoff-E, it means he was born in Dublin, but now considers himself to be resident in England rather than just visiting.

The 1911 Census was the first one to be filled out by the householder. Within reason they could fill out whatever they wanted to say. It looks like you got a bonus on this census.

Actually not so - all Census schedules were filled out by the Householder when possible - the Enumerator collected those schedules and wrote them up - these are the source images seen in 1841 to 1901 (the original schedules were destroyed)

The 1911 was/is the first census to keep those personal schedules as the source for transcription.
