Finding the Tookes - father and son?

[Mabel Bagshawe]

1901 - all born Larling except as shown

George Toak    38 - ag lab b Snetterton
Mary Ann Toak    38
Ethel Louise Toak    15
Birtie G Toak    11
Jessie C Toak    10 (daughter)
Hilda E Toak    3

If you have access to the 1911 census image, you will spot something doesn't add up!


Class: RG13; Piece: 1867; Folio: 96; Page: 5

Looks like what doesn't add up is Ethel - born Ethel Louisa Kidd. She has at least one other Kidd sibling Ernest William (or vice versa) born c1882. She gives George as her father when she marries. though

I had found this Took/Kidd family before, but dismissed it for "geographic" reasons.

It's 40 miles to Kings Lynn from Snetterton/Thompson, which is possible but slightly worrying. Especially since George (and Archibald before him) had bee so very static. There are definitely possible, and (of course) the names and DOBs are a good fit.

But the research on the Took/Kidd possibility is valuable, so my heaarty thanks to those who did it.

There is a school record indexed
Arthur Took
born 1903
admitted 1909
Thompson National/Council School, Norfolk

If someone could take a look, see if there is a day/month of birth?

[jonw65]

Appears that sister Hilda Took was also admitted to Thompson National School in 1909, and before that was at Larling School.

Bertie and Jessie also at Larling.

[Millmoor]

Date of birth for Arthur Took on school admission record is 20 Sep 1903. ( Hilda's dob is 22 March 1898. Previous school Hocklade. Father George - a labourer). Date pf leaving for Arthur April 1 1915 and Hilda 20 March 1913.

Well, indeed. That school record would appear to end any possible doubt as to the identification.

EXCELLENT news.

Arthur's grand-daughter (for whom I'm doing this research) will be very happy.
