Address Unhoused *Completed, many thanks*
« on: Tuesday 18 August 09 13:48 BST (UK) »
This is given as the address on the census for one of my relatives - I'm fairly sure it says "Unhoused".

If that's so, then where would they have lived - in a wagon, or tent, by the side of the road?

Perhaps that's where my passion for camping came from!

Hi Hat

It looks like 'continued' to me, is that possible looking at the whole image?

I was also going to suggest continued, although my first thought was 'confirmed' though as the tail of the 'f' was missing I thought this must be incorrect ...  ;)

Umm, so much for assumptions! :-[ ;D

Thanks, Evie, Ruskie; I'll go take a look at the previous sheet.

Looks like Continued to me also, I have come across this when it applied to a small village either in Somerset or Wales, I suggest looking back at the previous pages to see if this is the case, Good luck.

Well,  that was short and sweet - the previous sheet, two lines from the bottom, says "Poplar How", and at the top, it says "Continued"!

I really must remember to check the sheets before and after.

Thanks, all, for putting me right. ;D
