1921 census

[Jool]

I have just downloaded the original census image, to me it is quite clearly Spooner and not Stoner.

I  have to agree Gadget that the information on the 1921 is not as good as the 1911.  No indication of children born, living or died and no address section. Certainly no indication of stillbirths if anyone was hoping for that.  Okay the ages are given in years and months so possibly helpful to pin down an ancestor.

I searched for just one family and found it through the address search, transcribed as Eylain!  The surname is England.  I checked the original just to be certain.

It unfortunately didn't help me as I was hoping I would get a clear place of birth, but only got the county.

Can someone remind me when exactly the 1921 census was taken please?  Thanks.

I have an unknown grandfather and have been looking forward to this census in the hope I might be able to get some clues but I can't find my Dad who was born September 1920 or my Gran.  The story was that Dad was looked after by grandparents and my Gran went back to Service, where I hoped I might find the clues!  I have found her parents but no mention of my Dad.  Very frustrated!!

I'm not impressed. There is nothing at all for North Fambridge, Essex which is where I suspect my GGF was. The nearest are Rettendon and Woodham Ferrers, several miles away.

I also looked for a friend's grandfather with surname Vandermeulen with no match found. Then I found his grandmother with surname Bissell and the grandfather was right beside her. I tried loads of misspellings to try and find him in the index but no luck. Also, the hovering over the result to see the other occupants trick didn't work, maybe because they were lodgers, so I don't know how they mistranscribed his surname.

Thanks for that Jool.  Just wondering how accurate the age given is.  It was stated as being 45 years and 5 months.  So if I have my maths correct that's January 1876?

The 1939, by which time the lady is in a hospital described as senile, dob given as 28 November 1875.  So how accurate is that??

One would hope that in 1921 she would know what her age was, so I may go with that for now.

I've had the same "Whoops" and low res, it took about 2 returns to the results and reloaded it and it was fine.

What do you reckon... She said she was separated, they corrected to married as they never divorced. Her husband married my ggrandma 6 years earlier...

I've waited a long time for such a simple meagre proof

Same here. It was blurry to start with but after 2 goes it was better.

I am quite pleased with the 1921 census. It is just as informative as the 1911, perhaps more in some ways.

Well my great grandfather’s middle name is down as Charles when it is Clarke. I can’t locate another great grandparent although I know she died in 1935. I know her location but wish you could search by address which would help. I can’t afford to check each of her children to see if she is with them.
Interestingly my relative in the lunatic asylum is listed with his full name not initials.
