Please help find family in 1911.
« on: Tuesday 04 January 22 10:19 GMT (UK) »
I am not requesting a lookup as such, but would be grateful if someone can locate this family in the 1911 census and point me in the right direction please.

George Edward Hovell born 1907
His father George William b 1879
His mother Betsy Louisa b 1877 (she seems to be Betsy rather than Elizabeth on all records)

George and Betsy married in 1905.

The family all hail from Winterton, Norfolk. All were still alive in 1911.

Father George was seafaring so may not have been at home in 1911.

I’ve tried all the usual searching methods without success.

Thank you.  :)

I'll have a search, Ruskie, but have you considered the suffragette movement, when quite a few households were not recorded because of protest for voting rights, etc..

Thanks to Gadget, JenB, Comberton and Shaun.

Feeling quite foolish that I was unable to find the family when they are exactly where I would expect them to be, I checked again on Ancestry. No. No results at all for me.  :-\

Odd, but it doesn’t matter. Thanks for finding them.  :)
