Hi,
I have just found my Grandfather George Smith on the 1911 census.
I have been searching for ages as I was told he was born in Sunderland. It turns out he was born in Canterbury.
His parents George Smith and Mary Newman were married in Co Limerick in 1894 where his occupation is a Private in the 14th Hussars.
Their eldest daughter was born in Curragh in 1896 follwed by Georges birth in 1898 in Kent. Was this a regiment move to Kent or was George leaving to serve elsewhere as Mary is in Sunderland on her own with the children in 1901.
By 1911 George was in civvy Street and the family were in Sunderland.
Hope that makes sense.
Thanks
Lyn
