Cant understand the writing!
« on: Sunday 29 October 06 10:41 GMT (UK) »
Was hoping someone could help.

I have found my great grandmother and her family on the 1891 and 1901 census, but cant make out the address - was wondering if someone could help me.

1891 - RG12 1966 73 35 (the name is Sullivan)

1901 - RG13 2366 135 29

Thank you

Hiya, thanks for that - yeah they kept moving which is why I'm interested in the addresses - thought I would try and find out where they were and see how close it was.

I've had a lady email me through Genes Reunited regarding this family and some info she's given me is quite interesting - think they were living in very small houses - and considering there was quite a few of them this caused problems.

Infact, in the 1901 census the mother is not living there - my new contact think she has found her living in the local asylum (but is still yet to confirm it) but thinks the over-crowding was a factor behind this if this is the case!
