1901 census help
« on: Thursday 17 April 14 17:52 BST (UK) »
Hi all
I am looking for the following family on the 1901 census and im hoping another pair of eyes can locate them:
John Christopher Asquith was born abt 1868 in Hull, he married Ann Eliza Ward in 1894 in Hull they had a child called Charles Edwin Asquith according to the 1911 census about 1895 in Hull. I have John on the 1871,81, 91 and 1911 census but cannot find either him, his wife or son in 1901 can someone have a look please just in case I have missed them.
Thanks in advance
Dawn

Sometimes it's worth just putting in Christian names and date of birth if you can't find your family on Ancestry, that should then throw up mistranscriptions.  The trouble with Ancestry is that, even if you send them a correction which they accept, you still have to search on the "wrong" name, which doesn't help the people who've not yet found their ancestors.
