Lincolnshire Lookup Requests / 1901 Census

« on: Friday 08 December 06 22:36 GMT (UK) »

I want to find out who lived in my sisters house in 1901, but although I know the house existed then the number is not listed in the Census records.
Did they re-number as they built more houses?
Can anyone help?
The road is South Park in Lincoln.

Derbyshire / Changing Birthplaces

« on: Friday 10 February 06 20:58 GMT (UK) »

Help!!

I'm going bonkers trying to track down and pin my ancester to one birthplaace.

In 1901 Census he states Derby, Derbyshire
In 1891 he claims Ashbourne, Derbyshire
Then in 1881 the person I believe could be him is stating Bradley, Derbyshire

Could this be so? Does it happen a lot?

Please help me !
