Strange!?
« on: Tuesday 19 October 04 20:12 BST (UK) »
Have got information about who I think is my family on the 1891 census but found great difficulty in finding them on the 1901 census even on the gov site.  But think I have found them on a link from this site.  Why wouldn't they be on official site?
Any ideas?

Were you looking under the right country? I see you have Edwards in Wales and England, for example.
I would suggest that if you want some good reasons you will have to take us into your confidence and say WHO, WHERE, WHEN. Then someone more clever than me will probably tell you the answer.
Southern or Southan [Hereford , Monmouthshire & Glos], Jenkins, Meredith and Morgan [Monmouthshire and Glos.], Murrill, Damary, Damry, Ray, Lawrence [all Middx. & London], Nethway from Kenn or Yatton. Also Riley and Lyons in South Africa and Riley from St. Helena.

Well, as far as I know my Grandfather Richard John Edwards was born in Islington in 1885, his Father Richard Edwards was born in Dolgelly (also spelt Dolgellau), Wales, his Mother (I think, not yet confirmed this bit) Rose was born in Faversham, Kent on the 1891 census they were living in Dolgelly.  There was a younger brother born about 1887 in Stoke Newington (?).  I checked all these places for the official 1901 census and found nothing.  I also followed a link from this site for Merionethshire 'Links Merionethshire Local Websites' and found the 1901 census and they were on there.  I have a PRO RG number; RG13/5254 and also a folio number 51 but no page number.  Which I think I will need to look it up on the 1901 census page.  Not sure what to do now!?!

Go to the above URL. Enter in the data you have [never mind the page number]. It will use some credits but you will see the piece you want.

Thanks, I finally tracked them down using the RG number Folio number etc.  But why couldn't I find them using the person search?   ???

That is too complex to investigate right here. You might lose thewill to live whlilst reading it and I may easily die of boredom explaining it. Be content and of good cheer!

Do you have your family from earlier census returns?  From Memorial Inscriptions? From Anglican Parish records? - If not, I have a huge amount of data about Dolgellau at home and I often visit the archives office for that which I don't have. So please ask  if there is anything at all that you would like to know about Dolgellau people - I can't guarantee that I can find the answer but I am always willing to try!
